Day 2: Garnet Lake to Red's Meadow

We hiked from Garnet Lake (9680', 0 mi) over a ridge and down to Shadow Lake (8,760', 3.4 mi), then up to Gladys Lake (9,600', 5.8 mi). From there, we began a long descent to Red's Meadow (7,580', 13.8 mi), taking a small detour from the JMT to see Devil's Postpile National Monument.

The total distance was 13.8 miles, with a major climb of 840' and descents of 920' at the beginning and 2,020' at the end.
