The End of the Sierra? (Jul 2025)

This is a special place to my Dad, one that he's been visiting for more than 30 years. As such, I've used names we've given to local landmarks or redacted the names of places that might be too revealing. If you recognize any of the places shown in the photos, please help to keep them special by not mentioning their names or locations.

For the last eight years, I've spent a few days to a week with my Dad at his favorite camp site in the Sierra National Forest. We didn't think this year would be any different as we aligned our schedules and planned menus and hikes to favorite landmarks.

And then, reality.

Turning onto the road that leads to camp, we were stopped in our tracks by a number of fallen trees. This was a surprise - given that we were well into the middle of summer - but not a problem that we thought would be insurmountable. At least, not until we looked beyond the first few down trees to the monsters further along the road.

Could this be the end?

    I have been planning a trip to that area for years after seeing some of the granite peaks from a commercial flight years ago. Finally made it in October 2024. Love all your post and always look forward to this one coming, can't wait.

      Nice shot there Greg, glad you were able to get up there, finally!

      Still a few weeks before I get to posting this one, (gotta post the Iceland trip first), but it’s coming!
