A break from the summer heat with a hint of watermelon snow. Did you know snow algae, sometimes called watermelon snow, blood snow, or pink snow, is actually a type of green algae? This type of snow is common during the summer in alpine and costal polar regions. The Sierra Nevada is one of those locations and it can usually be found between 10-14,000 feet. ••• Goddard Divide, Sierra Nevada, Ca #adventurebeckons #395north #mtgoddard #jmt2019 #johnmuir #muirpass (at Muir Pass) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1xVvsRBrv_/?igshid=1ag1nnzc8flwi

A break from the summer heat. Cool temperatures and snow is still up there round 12 - 13,000 feet and up. But the sun at altitude will fry you quick. ••• Goddard Divide, Sierra Nevada, Ca #adventurebeckons #395north #mtgoddard #jmt2019 #johnmuir #muirpass (at Kings Canyon National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1xNDOKB6GU/?igshid=vyho86phl33p
