Photo Friday: Back to the Sierra at last!
That's right--I've finally come home and returned to editing photos, so I have another round of pictures from my September backpack trip in the John Muir Wilderness and Kings Canyon NP. This post picks up with Day 4 of that hike. Days 1-2 are here , and Day 3 here . As we move into the heart of the Sierra, I have too many photos, so I'll just do one day at a time. Random "on the trail" photo to start with something horizontal since otherwise Facebook will mess up the post. Mornings are cold, even at a "mere" 9200'. It's always hard to get going, but we were pretty good at being on the trail by 8:45 or thereabouts. It always took a couple of hours to get us all through breakfast, foot care, and packing up, though part of that is time spent hoping for the sun to come and thaw us out! Breakfast time. Once the sun was on us, it warmed up fast enough. High altitude and dry air means big temperature swings! Morning sun. An hour or so late...
