These images are from our thru-hike of the JMT in 98. We hiked from August 16 through September 3, southbound. The hike took 18 days to complete, covering about 220 miles. Solophile and I are indebted to Big Bird (of AT 97 fame) for the splendid hospitality in the Bay City, the time he took off to be our personal tour guide, and the great hitch out to Yosemite.

Devils Postpile The geological fun along the trek simply continues. This is called columnar basalt, and is geometrically stunning. The longer columns here are some 60 feet high and about 2 feet across. |
