The event honors pioneering mountaineer Norman Clyde, who recorded 100 first
ascents in the Sierra in the 1920s and 1930s, and was a fixture in the
Sierra Club's High Trips, which introduced hundreds of people to the High
Sierra. Clyde lived in Independence and Big Pine when he was not roaming the
Sierra for weeks at a time, carrying his legendary 80-pound pack. Clyde
would have been 130 years old this year.

The day will start at 11 a.m. with an informal Pack With Legs fun walk, open
to everyone. Participants are encouraged to carry a pack for the moderate
walk along Independence Creek and through town. Those carrying the heaviest
packs will be rewarded with a prize, and everyone will get a replica "Norma
Clyde Campaign Hat."
