My first experiences in backpacking was in California's Sierra Nevada mountains in the 1960's and they have always exerted a strong pull on me. I had last been there in 1969, so it didn't take much to decide that our second out of state backpacking trip would be a trip back to California.
The Sierra's were a completely different type of terrain than we had been used to. Much of the trip was over 10000 feet elevation and above timberline. The trip also featured a lot of scrambling where trails were vague or non existent.

The descriptions under the photo thumbnails in the album sometimes contain links to maps or additional information. These are identified by "Blue” text for links.
I've revised this album recently. When I first uploaded this album back in late 1999, high speed internet was unheard of, so photo resolutions were pretty low in order to allow uploading at dial-up speeds. I've rescanned my photo negatives of this trip at the highest resolution available to me and replaced the old low resolution ones. I don't have access to the photos taken by Jason and Brian, so they remain at the low resolution, although I've run them through a noise filter so they look better when enlarged. I've also digitized the Hi-8 videos that I took on the trip and have added them to the album.

A six day trip in the Pasayten Wilderness covering a little over 47 miles and with about 16000 feet of elevation gain and loss, including a wild goose chase at Buckskin Lake, a river that "flowed the wrong way", and a couple of 13 mile Death Marches (for me anyway).
