Two friends who decided to get married in Lake Tahoe, made me decide to make their wedding a good excuse for an extended summer vacation and backpacking trip to what they call the High Sierra. Early conservation pioneers of the west and the work they did are fascinating to me. That famous photo of Teddy and John Muir standing atop Overhanging Rock are on my wall. Muir once wrote,“But no temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite. Every rock in its wall seems to glow with life.”
I wanted to see that.
