Yosemite National Park – BOOTS on the TRAIL

Mules & Smoke: Last Day (High Sierra) 11-Sep-2020

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.

The first day of our hiking with pack stock trip in the High Sierra: Virginia Lakes to Virginia Canyon.

A memorable climbing trip accompanied by Galen Rowell, one of the most accomplished climbers and photojournalists of his day.

Pictures from another wonderfully great year of adventures with The LovedOne and friends.

Notes from a backpack along the John Muir Trail in the far away days of August, 1956.
