Some of my favorite hikes and trips: |

 |
|
 |
| Mount Dana |
|
Rae Lakes Loop |
|
Mount Lewis |
| In August of 1998, we went on my first true test -- a 13,000 feet
peak in Tuolumne Meadows. Altitude, hail, and lightning could
not keep us from our goal. |
|
A 6-day backpacking trip into the heart of the Sierra with new
amazing views every day. |
|
Mount Lewis in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite. Not as high as Mount
Dana, but just as pretty -- if not more so. |

Mount Tallac
|

Emigrant Wilderness

Mount Whitney |

with the most magnificent views of Lake Tahoe, Fallen Leaf Lake,
and surrounding peaks from the top. |
|
A 3-day backpacking trip in the Emigrant Wilderness. I've never
seen so many beautiful lakes so close together. |

wonderful 3-day backpacking trip which left us feeling very isolated. |
