The JMT winds through the true High Sierra and visits some of my favorite places on earth. So when we started today I was kind of wishing we were heading South. After about two hours I was set straight. The Northeastern part of Yosemite National Park is crazy beautiful and seldom seen by most people.
We came to Tuolomne Falls and Glen Aulin Camp after a few hours of hiking. Glen Aulin is one of the six
Yosemite High Sierra Camps. We didn't hang out too long as we had miles to do. After passing Glen Aulin we continued North on the PCT heading up Cold Canyon. The sights were just amazing.
Our destination for the day was supposed to be Miller Lake. After 19 miles of hiking we came to what we thought was Miller Lake, found a great campsite and did our evening chores. We ate our dinner and snuggled into our down cocoons for our first night in the backcountry. It was VERY quiet!
