Northern California – BOOTS on the TRAIL

In The High Sierra ~ Mount Morrison (1974-1985)

A look back at a High Sierra peak where persistence crossed the line into obsession.

A hike through coastal forest to a secluded beach and a view of the mouth of the Klamath River.

Enjoying an oddly nice visit to a tourist attraction that missed being a childhood memory.

Memories of a long ago climb of Matterhorn Peak recalled by a recent trip in its vicinity.

And so our smoky, adventurous, and drama-filled first experience with mule packing comes to a happy conclusion

A long day on the trail, over two passes, through scenery mostly obscured by smoke.

A stiff wind had cleared the air, allowing us unobstructed views of the stunning scenery in Matterhorn Canyon.

A post-rescue layover day around a beautiful lake in the Yosemite Wilderness.

A short day hiking and a long night waiting for a rescue.
