A bit north west of Bishop, at the end of Pine Creek Road - with the massive Mt. Tom shadowing you to your south, there are a number of hikes here that climb into the Sierras. Picking up the trail from the trailhead, alas, couldn't complete the hike - rain started falling, snowpack started building up in the higher elevations, fog rolling in and the dark of nightfall only hours away. Definitely worth a return to hit the summit, as this is a strenuous day hike.
This blog chronicles my travels - mostly around my home state of California - but on rare occasions, other areas as well. Hopefully, these photos capture the majesty, grandeur, and breathtaking beauty of the landscapes I’ve witnessed firsthand on these trips over the last few years. Luckily, for me, it really doesn’t take much to heed the call of nature, to pull me from the comforts of home and to prepare for another grand adventure. So buckle up, plug in and strap in - we’re going for a ride.
