Scooting through the cool rain up and over big misty mountains to Sonora Pass

Woo hoo. I've been feeling the trail rhythm today.

An unexpectedly strenuous day through the northern backcountry of Yosemite National Park.

A soggy start to a good day

i start late, and rush a bit too much, and hike a lot.

I linger perhaps a bit too long in Mammoth, then start walking towards Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park.

A moderate day of hiking, without much snow at all

A fantastic day over Muir Pass to Piaute Creek

Hiked over Mather Pass to the base of Muir Pass

Hiked with two others up and over easy Pinchot Pass through austere high mostly treeless country to the base of Mather Pass

I descend down kinda scary Glen Pass, then cruise along to Woods Creek for the night, camping with two other PCTers

I felt euphoric all day... until the end.

I'm sticking with the original plan, and walking to Canada from Independence and Kearsarge Pass.

I wrestle with where to start the PCT again.

Packing for two and a half trips at once: the Sierra, the rest of the PCT, and the Kumano Kodo

My workflow for uploading and editing photos while hiking

Once again, section D frustrates me with fickle weather. I'm heading back home.

A short day to traverse the south ridge above Wrightwood, then into town for the afternoon and night.

A hard days walk uphill from I-15 and the Cajon Pass.

A return to the PCT for a few days, to pick up Section D

Backing away from the trail for a few weeks.

Up and over Forester Pass, at 13,200' the highest elevation on the PCT

An excellent hiking day, with an exhausting finish over slushy snow

Arriving in the High Sierra on a warm spring day.
