Owens Valley

The John Muir Trail is 211 miles from Happy Isles Trailhead in Yosemite National Park to the summit of Mt. Whitney. It's still another 8.5 miles to Whitney Portal for burgers and fries. Owens Valley is in the background. After 32 days on the trail (Lake Tahoe to Mt. Whitney including Yosemite Valley), the ending was bittersweet. Happy to be going home to see friends and family; yet sad to be leaving the Range of Light.
