Hi all! It's been a while since I posted anything here, but I finally got this done. This is a movie of the trip Chris, Rashad and I took on the North Lake South Lake Loop last summer. This was a beautiful 6-day/5-night backpacking trip that started and ended near Bishop and took us on the John Muir Trail to see sights such as McClure Meadow, Evolution Lake, The Muir Shelter and countless waterfalls. I hope you enjoy!

If this photo looks familiar, it’s a similar view of Ansel Adams’ famous photo of Precipice Lake on the High Sierra Trail. It was quite a climb to get there, but beautiful the whole way.
