Rock Creek LakeNice hike up a scenic drainage to Mt. Stanford. Traversed the ridge to Mt. Morgan afterwards and made a loop back to Rock Creek Lake.

Trail surveyIt was the day before the start of Burd's 2012 Sierra Challenge and I wanted an easy hike at altitude to acclimate. My son was camped with a group at Hilton Creek Lakes so I decided to check up on him and also scope out the trail to Stanford North -- wound up writing the page on it. I guess I have to go back and actually climb the thing now.
