last month i took a week off of work (and away from TFO ) and went hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains. these photos are some of the highlights from the trip. i hiked ~40 miles south from Mammoth, CA where i met up with a buddy who went along with me to Sequoia National Park outside of Visalia, CA.
Squaw Lake @ 10,500 ft. lots of brook trout and a beautiful sunset
a view from 11,000 ft. the air is so clear up here! the biggest lake is chief lake.
on the trail. carrying everything i could possibly need for 4 days
some friends i met along the trail. beautiful scenery!
juniper hugger!
me and general sherman, the biggest tree on earth in terms of volume. note that im at least 20 feet from the base of the tree...the scale here is kind of...off.
giant sequoias and my buddy patrick standing at the base (he's 6 feet tall)
a lazy marmot on a rock.
