High Sierra Topix

It's a real joy to see the photos everyone chooses for this. And it's always difficult to pick three. Here they are:

Yosemite Falls, Merced River, January 2010



Kaweah Queen, Pyra Queen Col, September 2010



Precipice Lake, September 2010

My little "point-and-shoot" camera photos are far from prize winning, but these three are among my favorites.


Flooded Yosemite Valley, May 2010 (took photo on early morning drive to start a backpack up the Merced River at peak water levels)


One of the chilly unnamed Ritter Lakes, early-August 2010, Roper's Sierra High Route.



Minarets sunrise from camp at Nydiver Lakes, mid-August 2010. Not a great "stitch" together of two photos, but I still like it.

Sunset Over Tioga Lake


Cathedral Rocks -Yosemite Valley

It sure is an ultra-classic but my backcountry pictures can definitely not compete with yours...
