Rediscovering the Tahoe-Yosemite Trail (Day 9): Camp Irene to Lake Alpine

This one almost did me in. The hike from Camp Irene to Lake Alpine is no joke: steep, rocky, overgrown, and unclear (sometimes all together!). Come suffer along with me as I make the difficult (but beautiful!) ascent to Mt. Reba and then down to one of the most special places on the entire TYT. 0:00 Intro / Camp Irene Wake Up 0:50 Beginning Hike 2:32 Bear Sighting 3:17 Exiting Forest / Beginning Rocky Switchbacks 4:28 Trail Overgrowth 5:07 Clear Rock (and More Switchbacks!) 5:52 Full Route Views 6:49 Entering Forest / Hike Summary 7:37 Amazing Views (and More Switchbacks!) 8:16 TYT Training 8:36 More Amazing Views (and More Switchbacks!) 9:24 Starting to Get Tired 10:02 Lost Trail 11:15 Back on Trail (and More Switchbacks!) 11:58 Starting to Get REALLY Tired 13:18 Lake Valley (and More Switchbacks!) 14:05 Starting to Get Exhausted 16:53 Major Rock Area 19:13 Climbing Out of the Lake Valley Bowl 20:43 Topping Out at Mt.
