This summer in conjunction with Restore Hetch Hetchy and Muir’s March The Snowmelt will take on a 500 mile bicycle expedition off the beaten path. This years expedition will closely follow the California Aqueduct and the water that comes from the Eastern Sierras. Starting in Southern California we will ride; aided only by the gear we carry in panniers and on bicycle trailers, to Yosemite National Park. The ride will be made as both a statement of solidarity with those who aim to restore Hetch Hetchy and the principals of The Snowmelt. If you are interested in joining this years ride please contact info@thesnowmelt.org
