Emigrant Wilderness, some more pictures
Just in case there's someone else out there who likes granite as much as I do...
For a person like me who loves to walk, the cool thing about the high Sierra is that you can walk in almost any direction you choose. There are almost no thickets or tangles or bogs to impede you. And the rough crystalline surface of the rock gives such good traction that you can walk up some very steep slopes in perfect safety...
These trees below made me think of those walking trees that the Ents herded in the (book) Lord of the Rings...
Thank you. I adore granite. I would love to have a home with a granite foundation. There are some lovely old homes with them in New Hampshire and Maine.
