A few friends and myself took advantage of the great weekend weather and hiked to the top of the newly renamed McConkey’s at Squaw Valley. A metal eagle in has recently been placed at the top in memory of Shane McConkey and we thought we would make the quick treck to take a look.
The hike was steep but relatively easy going except for the last 50 yards which require some scrambling straight up a slope covered in loose rock. The amazing view and the opportunity to sit at the eagles perch and look over Squaw Valley made it all well worth it! Here are a few pictures.
