Gilbert Lake was still just a snowfield when I arrived. Swipe for full pano (3 image stitch). Bluebird day and snowy peaks all around. ❤ This was as far as I was willing to hike: I’d already had to trudge back to the Inyo National Forest sign once I spotted it and realized I was off course, and coming back from here I did slide down a few spots on my butt even though I hate glissading (not the only one – no one else was around, but I was not the first in the new snow). 3/8/2020 @ 12:27am #whyihike #optoutside #trailtreasures #thegreatoutdoors #gilbertlake #onionvalley #easternsierra #sierranevada #california #inyonationalforest #publiclands #itsallyours #nationalforest #winter #frozen #snow #mountains #hiking https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHkYHaABrY/?igshid=caqtrqkbrntz
