Backside Loop Hike ~ May 24-30, 2013(96) images
Additional segments of the Sierra High Route. In this case Bishop Pass to Knapsack Col, to Potluck Pass to Palisades Lakes to Leconte Canyon and back up thru Dusy Basin to South Lake. Good weather the first half of the loop. Bit more fickle after that. Didn't do any climbing, which was a mistake.
NOT MUCH MOISTURE IN THIS STORM
