I put up a little photo blog here if you'd like to see some recent photos:

Was just an awesome experience all around.

Great photos and TR, Puffer!
Shite, good for you for doing it. . . Makes me salivate with envy. Nicely done. Was thinking of Alaska next summer, but, hiking the JMT
with my son could put itself into the top ten experiences we've had together. He said the views along the Teton Crest trail were some of the best he's ever had, but I kept thinking, he needs to do a trip through the high Sierra. We'll see.
Anyway, glad you completed it, and looks like conditions were spectacular. Might take me a month or more as I'd want to stay awhile at
the various lakes. . .
