We finally caught up with our quest-ers in the Eastern Sierras and they are having an amazing time! Yesterday the group visited Black Point, a beautiful spot near Mono Lake known for its deep and narrow fissures (fissures are deep cracks in the earth caused by volcanic activity). The teens hiked down into one where they could barely see a crack of the sky at the top.
Today our group enjoyed a little rest and relaxation in the hot springs near Hot Creek. After hiking all over the mountains I'm sure they were excited to hang out in one place and kick back without their boots and backpacks!
Tomorrow our adventurers head to Tahoe where they will stay overnight to do laundry, send and receive mail, and prepare for the next leg of their journey: a two day river rafting excursion down the American river.
Our bold quest-ers are sure to come back with great memories from the trip and we can't wait to see where they'll go next!
