It was very refreshing in the mountains around Bishop. So much water this year. Combined with the cooler temperatures made it a trip to remember! There were still washed out bridges and many flooded fields around town.
DesertDan (former member of that other Hummber club) had moved to Bishop and accompanied me on the Wheeler prerun.
The new signage on the way up let us know that we were in for some challenges.
Once we reached the crest, we were greeted with a wonderful sight. The snowmelt pond still had plenty of water along with a slew of tadpoles and frogs.
There was a fire blazing in the western Sierras so the view was a little smokey.
Of course, coming back down makes the trail all different.
I did have a close encounter with a tree . . .
