High Sierra Trip 2003

High Sierra Trip 2003

(After writing "Off the Shoulder of Orion", I put this gallery together as a kind of therapy, it covers a hike Shirley and I took in 2003. My hiking days may be over, but I can celebrate the places I've been, the things I've seen, and the people who shared it with me.)  


In 2003, Shirley and I enjoyed a three day hike from Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley. We stayed at two High Sierra Camps along the way, Vogelsang and Merced Lake. We are both grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy this adventure together at this stage of our lives.
