High Sierra Topix

Below Matterhorn Peak, 2016

Morning below Silver Pass, July 16, 2017


One of our more dramatic camp sites

The hour before the walk. Cozies on titanium cups with piping hot coffee, zip locks with various food groups, 1/4" foam pad for comfort (who likes to eat and cook on an inflated pad? I pull the plug on that one the moment I want to sit up). Camera lenses in the far corner, headlight in the mesh pocket, and two hungry Sierraphiles ready for breakfast.


The first coffee is served

Half Dome from North Dome, May 29, 2018.

2018 Meetup at Grinnell Lake

Rae Lakes 5 star camp


Room with a view

Somewhere east of Parker Pass, just outside of Yosemite during the smoke closure due to the Ferguson Fire. My experienced hiking partner watching the smoke filled skies to the west as we prep for a night at 11,000 feet on day one of our hike in 2018


First camp with my companion
