Photos from climbing and foot patrol

I have the opportunity to patrol and protect some of the most beautiful places in the world. Here are some of the pictures from this season:


The view down onto Tenaya Peak (left) and Tenaya Lake (center) from Medlicott Dome


Lots of wildflowers. This is one of my favorites. Any guesses?


Unicorn Peak (left) and Cathedral Peak (right) with their early-season blankets (taken in mid-July)


The Lyell Fork of the Tuolumne River


The rare clouds and even rarer storm approaching Tuolumne Meadows.
A good assortment of the Domes and peaks pictured: from L to R, Unicorn, Fairview, Lamb, Mariuolumne, DAFF

A typical trail through the lodgepole forests.


Cloud's Rest (L) and Half Dome (R) in the evening light


The two story composting toilet in Glen Aulin, one of the High Sierra camps

There will be more patrol photos as the season progresses!


My coworker Eric finds a magical door...to where does it lead?
