The River was extra full because of the releases at the damn in preparation for the storm.

There's always enough room for sunbathing
Especially after a long hard storm. I love hiking the mornings following a nice storm. It seems like all of nature loves getting out to get some rays of sun.
Awestruck
The view of the Mono Divide and the Third Recess from this spot in Pioneer Basin is one of the best vantage points in the entire Sierra Nevada

Fishing Fourth Recess
Fishing at Fourth Recess Lake, one of my favorite lakes ever.
Chilling at Mono Pass
A snow rimmed Summit Lake sits just below the pass. This pass
A barren trail...
Heading up Mono Pass from the Mosquito Creek Trailhead. This is one of those sections where you feel like you're in the High Sierra, especially with the added summer snow.
Ascending Mono Pass
Nothing like some light snowfall to make a hike even that much more beautiful.
Ruby Lake at sunset
After a cloudy, rainy day a break in the clouds made for an incredible evening.
A break in the weather

Nothing like a summer snow storm...

Light Always Shines Through
A gloomy stretch of trail through Rockbound Valley made much more enticing by the warm rays of light.
Horseshoe Lake and Rockbound Pass
The view South from a ridge between Horseshoe Lake and Lake Zitella. The peaks just right of center are in the Rockbound Pass area and Rockbound Valley continues on the far left of the picture.
Rubicon River during spring runoff
Taken while fishing from where the Rubicon River enters Rubicon Lake, but the river was so big, it was more like an extension of the lake.
