Eastern Sierras, Ansel Adams Wilderness - Day 3

On my third day on the trail I hiked 9 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail/High Trail back to Agnew Meadows. Every morning I was up at sunrise, and hit the trail at 7:30am, and reached my destination by 2:30pm. I probably spent an hour photographing Thousand Island Lake before connecting with the PCT Trail.

The Sierra Nevada Range extends 165 miles along the California/Nevada border between Los Angeles and Reno. The Inyo National Forest includes over 2 million acres of pristine lakes, winding streams, rugged peaks and arid Great Basin Mountains. Elevations range from 3,900 to 14,505 feet, providing diverse habitats that support vegetation ranging from semi arid deserts to high alpine meadows.
