Description

The stoke of the high sierra is real. Day 1 of my solo JMT hike, September 7, 2019. Overwhelmed by the beauty of the meadow, the mountains, the trail. Excited for what is in store. Unaware of the cold snap to come that night, making me long for a third pair of pants to wear while bundled in every layer I brought, inside my 20 degree sleeping bag.
