The first day of a two day backpacking trip from Onion Valley on the east side of the Sierras. This gallery includes pictures from the trailhead to Matlock Lake. I camped near Flower Lake that night and was greeted by a bear in the middle of the night. The next morning I hiked to Kearsarge Pass (11,760') before returning to San Diego that night.
Rather than making one massive gallery, I divided this trip up into two sections. The photos from the second part of this trip (Kearsarge Pass) are located at http://cessna.smugmug.com/gallery/3011415
