Oh this good life. ✨

As I was saying, the cold, wet clouds came back to Alta Trail by noon. This expansive view of the Great Western Divide was taken just after 11am on my exit from backpacking in Alta Meadow.

Another epic view of a snow-capped Great Western Divide from Alta Meadow close to where I'd hung my hammock for the night. The morning was so sunny and warm that my gear, drenched from hiking in dense clouds the day before, was dry withing two hours... which was great because it was wet again before noon. More to come from last May's quick overnight... #optoutside #whyihike #trailtreasures #goingoutisgoingin #hiking #snow #mountains #mountainsgandalf #altameadow #sequoianationalpark #sierranevada #california #findyourpark #view #vista #forest #themountainsarecalling #nature #naturephotography #naturerx #getoutside #exploremore (at Lodgepole Visitor Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoADhBJH6Ld/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cjox4f6drwpm

Swipe for five frames of the crazy view from Alta Meadow which provides a closer detail than the last single pano I posted. In the first frame you can see a marmot on the rock looking at me. It was morning after a day of dense, freezing clouds / fog and we were all enjoying the warm sun. #optoutside #whyihike #trailtreasures #goingoutisgoingin #hiking #backpacking #altameadow #sequoianationalpark #sierranevada #california #mountains #wildernessculture #nature #naturephotography #naturerx #getoutside #exploremore #thegreatoutdoors #nationalpark #themountainsarecalling #views #vista #greatwesterndivide (at Lodgepole Visitor Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8wC4VHCrc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=psvnrbjpmjlu

Immense views of the Great Western Divide from Alta Meadow one morning backpacking last May. 🙆‍♀️ #optoutside #whyihike #trailtreasures #goingoutisgoingin #altameadow #sequoianationalpark #sierranevada #california #mountains #themountainsarecalling #thegreatoutdoors #findyourpark #backpacking #hiking #gohike #getoutside #exploremore #wildernessculture #nature #naturephotography #naturerx #greatwesterndivide #sierras (at Lodgepole Visitor Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6o5yVHNqz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vzjp5pgrdmze

A marmot made her burrow right along the admittedly faint trail in Alta Meadow. Somewhere inside came many squeaks - she was guarding her babes. We both looked out at the amazing views together.
