Here are some of my better pictures from the Sierra Nevada. I hope they all don't look the same.
 |
| Welcome to the Sierra Nevada |
 |
| Definitely not in the desert but doesn't quite feel like the Sierra |
 |
| First good view of the mountains |
 |
| Cool tree with great view |
 |
| Made it to Sequoia and King's Canyon! Don't know what I am looking at though. |
 |
| Trail though a meadow |
 |
| Who can guess which mountain is Mt. Whitney |
 |
| If you can't get through the gate, you can't hike the PCT |
 |
| View from Big Horn Plateau: one of the cooler places |
 |
| Pass Proof: Forrester Pass Tallest point on the PCT |
 |
| Snow Llama |
 |
| Looking toward Forrester Pass |
 |
| Bullfrog Lake |
 |
| Heading into town |
 |
| These aren't my legs but this is how dirty you get when you don't shower for 7 days |
 |
| Enjoying my ride back to the trail |
 |
| All the lakes have amazing colors like this |
 |
| Pass Proof: Glenn Pass |
 |
| One of the more snowy parts of the trail |
 |
| Rae Lakes |
 |
| Morning at Rae Lakes. It's one of the most beautiful places on the trail |
 |
| Cool swinging bridge across a stream |
 |
| Pass Proof: Pinochot Pass |
 |
| Looking down into the King's River canyon |
 |
| Pass Proof: Muir Pass |
 |
| Walking by the lake |
 |
| McClure Meadow: One of the best meadows on trail |
 |
| Pass Proof: Seldon Pass (the one where the mosquitoes chased me away) |
 |
| Pass Proof: Silver Pass |
 |
| Log Bridge |
 |
| The start of the stormy weather |
 |
| Leaving Mammoth for rain and cold. I just didn't know it yet. |
 |
| Stormy? Yes! Fun? Not so much. |
 |
| Ready for the rain! |
 |
| Thousand Island Lake: It's suppose to be one of the most amazing places. Maybe it would be if we could see the mountains in the background it would be amazing. |
 |
| Pass Proof: Donoghue Pass |
 |
| Looking back on the bad weather |
 |
| Made it to Tuolumne Meadows |
Beautiful shots!!! Thanks so much for sharing Dan!
ReplyDeleteDaniel,
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are great! You are a lucky guy...Well except for the mosquitoes and rain part...Have some more ice cream at the next stop to make up for those parts.
Rae lakes looks wonderful. Keep on trekking.
