Some of the thoughts I had about the trail after I returned home and back to civilization.

Reaching the summit of Mount Whitney was the perfect way to finish this incredible 23-day journey.

I settled down in a nice spot by Guitar Lake before it got dark. There were no clouds and it looks like the weather would be great the next day.

Looking back, this was my favorite day of the entire hike, mainly because of Forester Pass and Bighorn Plateau.

I’d been wanting to take a dip in one of the lakes for the last few days but the weather had been crappy. This day was perfect though, with not one single cloud in the sky.
