Trip Description
Route and itinerary |
|
|
Muir Gallery 1: Shadow Creek
First views of some amazing scenery and wildflowers on the way to Shadow Lake, with an excursion to Lake Ediza at the base of the beautiful Minarets. |
|
|
Muir Gallery 2: Garnet Lake
An afternoon hail storm provides drama on the way to camp at Garnet Lake, at the base of Mt. Ritter and Banner Peak, but doesn't detract from the scenery or the spectacle of wildflowers. |
|
|
Muir Gallery 3: Island Pass
Climbing past Thousand Island Lake, with wide open views all around - creates the perfect place to put together a panoramic image. And the flowers just keep coming! |
|
|
Muir Gallery 4: Donohue Peak Solo Climb
Why lay down on a layover day when there's a mountain nearby? A solo cross-country climb up Donohue Peak at 12,023 ft becomes the highlight of my trip. What a super view! |
|
|
Muir Gallery 5: Rush Creek
Meanwhile, back at the ranch..., Rush Creek sports its share of wildflowers and beautiful views. |
|
|
Muir Gallery 6: Donohue Pass and Lyell Canyon
More views from rocky Donohue Pass at 11,040 ft, then a descent into lush Lyell Canyon. |

Muir Gallery 7: People in Action
Caught in the act, or acting it up, everyone's smiles tell the whole story! |
