JUST WOW!!! All the adjectives - stunning, etc. -- are well deserved! The lighting, composition, etc. in all your pics are incredible! I've seen a lot of JMT pics -- yours are right there at the top of the pile. Glad the Lion fire south of Whitney didn't impair your view toward that end of the trip.

Congrats on your hike!

I'm surprised by the amount of snow still up in Yosemite considering what I saw in early August at Whitney.

The northern part of the Sierra typically gets more precip (in whatever form) than the southern part, which would probably explain the additional snow in the northern part of the JMT.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
