Rediscovering the Tahoe-Yosemite Trail (Day 10): Lake Alpine to Highland Creek

My friend Greg joined me on the next section of the Tahoe-Yosemite Trail beginning at Lake Alpine and ending at Clark Fork Campground. We took the 3rd edition route past Duck Lake through the "Christmas Tree Farm" to Rock Lake.* Then we did some serious route finding to Spicer Reservoir and then camped near Highland Creek on this two-day trip. (Day 11 coming soon!) *I'd already scouted out and filmed the route from Lake Alpine to Rock Lake, so that segment is not include don this video.
