Into the Ansel Adams Wilderness! I know, sounds dramatic. Well, at some point the landscape is. An uneventful, but pretty and pretty steady climb up a grassy, rocky plain into the alpine wilderness to the lake. One of the easier accessed lakes in the eastern Sierra. In the distance you can see Mono Lake and probably the comfort of your car, if you look hard enough, laughing at you from the parking lot.
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.
