The morning after my biggest hike of the summer in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness...I went for another hike! By this point I'd been hiking for four out of the last six days and my feet were almost completely shot. But I couldn't resist this incredible trail...one of my favorites in the world and relatively short at only 7 miles. Inclement weather was moving in, but the rain held off just long enough to do the hike and provide some truly incredible light and clouds.
