Our first hike was up to the top of the Virginia Lakes Basin -- the area above treeline (about 11,200 feet) was wild and windblown:
The Lundy Lakes area was filled with waterfalls and wildflowers:
These are columbines:
I am told that this is foxglove:
These are leopard lillies:
We next hiked the Green Lakes basin -- we made it all the way up to East Lake in the Hoover Wilderness on a hot day:
We headed over to Tioga Pass in Yosemite and hiked the Twenty Lakes Basin, mostly above the treeline:
On our way south, we stopped off at Rock Creek. Mt. Morgan lies to the southwest of the canyon:
Our last hike was up to Kearsarge Pass from Onion Valley, a 10 mile round trip with a 2500 foot elevation gain up to 11,760 feet:
The trail was very well graded and maintained, but it was a big day for us. Felice relaxed by a stream while I took endless "wildflower & waterfall" pictures:
