From deep in the Sierra Nevada mountain range on the John Muir Trail, California, looking NNW. To reach this point on a dayhike would be 28 total miles and 7000 feet climbing/descent roundtrip. From right to left this canyon used to contain an enormous glacier, with feeder glaciers flowing from the far canyon walls, creating what are called "hanging valleys". This is a site of a campsite we regretfully passed up because we had to hike farther that day, but camping here would have been magical. Google Map

Another spectacular post- I love the depth of field in this shot. Just like looking out the window. Great shot.

You must have a lot of energy Jon! lol! 6 miles is far enough for me ;) It's a beautiful place though and well worth the effort to be able to see this view! thanks for sharing and for the stunning capture!
