Gorgeous photos of a beautiful area. Getting up early was worth the photos, but I'm glad you really didin't freeze!

Thanks, Brent--no frost bite, but my fingers had stopped working.
I know you share so many beautiful Huntington photos, but do you escape to the Sierras much? A week just between Bishop and Lee Vining would be a dream for photographing lakes. Fall would have been the ideal time, but we already had the Oregon Coast down to the Redwoods planned for this September.Jul 10, 2018 19:30:16 #

(Just a word to the wise, wear fleece. You can always take it off.) After a warming breakfast at Tom's Place, we drove up the Rock Creek Road to the John Muir Wilderness Area. Second lesson learned--never ask a hiker how difficult a trail is! After a rocky, strenuous (for us) hike, we reached the overlook to Mack Lake. Next stop was the Mammoth Lakes area where we went first to Mamie Lake, then crossed the road to photograph the waterfall created by the outflow from Mamie down to/and including Twin Lakes. Heading east, we went to the Hot Creek Geologic Site, then north to scout out Mono Lake for a nice location to return to for a sunrise. June Lake was our home base for the next three nights.Wonderful photos of a wonderful place!

Thanks so much for the great pictures - and memories! Years ago, I spent time camping in that area at least once every summer - Coldwater Campground at Lake Mary, Twin Lakes, June Lake and on up to Tuolumne Meadows Campground, where we were awakened by a bear next to our tent - I could hear it breathing! That, of course, was after heading west out of Lee Vining on the (partly) one-way road over Tioga Pass - when it was open. Good pictures available also at Devil's Postpile, and from the top of Mammoth Mountain ski area where I loved to ski every winter - not to forget the glory of Yosemite!!!. I was fortunate enough to be able to take the best trout out of Lake Crowley on Opening Day (weekend closest to the first of May) 17 years in a row! My pictures from that era were way before digital!!!
Again, MANY thanks,
Loren - now far removed from that kind of country, in Baguio City
