Hiked from Big Meadow to Carson Pass (8 miles - easy)

Me and Julie did an excellent and quite easy 8 mile hike from Big Meadow Trailhead on the Rim Trail to Carson Pass (where we dumped a car). This is an awesome and quite easy hike that is highly recommended. We passed some mountain bikers too and this does indeed seem like an excellent MTB route as well.

Our guidebook had this listed as a 10 mile hike but the total mileage included a side trip to Dardenelles Lake (we thought, as is usual in guidebooks, that a sidetrip would be extra mileage and not counted as a part of the total!).

Some of our photos from the day are here.
