The trail coming up mountain, reflected. I was going west, tracking hwy 108 from the snowgate past the marine base.

Just like backpackers. |

#2: December. About 12 miles south of tahoe. Packing from tahoe to the sisters and back.
I've got a few thousand shots from three tahoe to whitney trips, and a whole lot more.I will put them up after I find a way to digitize 'em. |
Lookin up at the PCT gap above levette lake. The previous december I glissaded down the face of this mountain with full winter pack. I emerged from the lowest gap on the crestline. |
