Panoramic Shots from the JMT....compiled today.


Here's a bunch of shots that needed to be stitched together. Sunday is a good day for stitching, so here they are. Enjoy.


(Lake on top of cinder cone....amazing the distinct line between the meadow and bare land due to CO2 emissions)



(View from above Evolution Valley, before a night's worth of rain came along. Gorgeous.)



(Glen Pass....uneventful pass, but a quite phenomenal view I do say.)

(View of lower Rae Lake, before the Glen Pass.)



(To be honest, I don't remember what lake this is. I just recognized a little bit of beauty.)



(360 degree view from the top of Mather Pass....about 2 weeks before we arrived, getting to the top required an ice axe and immense strength to overcome the ice and 10ft. cornice of snow hanging over the top.)



(Rose Lake panoramic shot. This is where we took a full rest day and our first glissade, which is sliding down snow on your butt. That in itself made the entire trip worth while. Giggles for days and days.)



(Just a plain old radical shot. The blues are really really blue. And mountains in snow rock. And trees. The JMT really stunk. A waste of 18 days!!)



(Tim Kershaw standing in the water flowing over the extremely large rock slabs. Around Lyell Canyon.)



(Luke standing atop the large switchbacks leading down to Tully Hole and Fish Creek. Mindblowing clarity and beauty)



(Sunrise over Whitney and the surroundings. I shot a 360 degree view, but could only manage to stitch 180 degrees together due to the low lighting. Still breathtaking.)
