High Sierra Topix

Hi everyone! Just found out about this great website so wanted to share a photojournal gallery I put together of a 5-day solo trek over the eastern Sierra's Taboose Pass I did in early August. If you've got the knees and stamina, it's a stupendous hike! Here are a few pics --






And if interested, the full trip gallery is here --

Great photos trailhiker. I love the ones taken at Bench Lake, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

That's some inspiring scenery! Welcome to the forums.

Should've been here long ago... The reflection and campsite pics were actually taken at the "lakelet" just before Bench Lake; personally I think it's a better spot to camp as it's less buggy, you have the place to yourself--and the Arrow Peak reflections are more impressive.

Thanks for sharing your trip th to one of those places I've always been afraid to tackle. Someday? ...David

Welcome to the forum!

Bench Lake is one of my favorites. We did it as a side trip after coming out of Lakes Basin (a section of the SHR), but didn't get to spend enough time there. The reflections of Arrow Peak are awesome!

I like the way your captions are next to the photos, and I can scroll down. I'm with webshots and would LOVE to switch to smugmug, but I have 7 accounts and no time to move them over.

Thanks for the photos!

Sweet! Awesome pics... I'm especially partial to the Bench Lake/Arrow Peak ones! (or the scenic pond just behind Bench Lake!). Very nice.

Great photos and welcome to HST! Another place to add to my must-see places when I recover from knee surgery.

Trailhiker....I loved your beautiful pictures and story! Thank you for posting them here. We got 3 miles from Taboose Pass during Labor Day..so seeing your pictures of Taboose was really nice for me. What a beautiful area!
