After my Mammoth Pass hike, I headed out to Rainbow Falls with the family.

Here are some highlights. Clicking a photo brings you to the full report and gallery:

Cute pictures, well except for the cloud of smoke, thanks for sharing. :)

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

This is clearly a Sierra Nevada trip report, so moving it to the Backpacking forum.

Thanks!

The plume of smoke kinda put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

It's not uncommon for both his feet to be off the ground :p

Here's another pic like that (3rd photo down):
