McGee Creek Hike

A good change from the city. Don't miss the bug eating locoweed and the dog chilling his paws. The snow in July blew my mind although I grew up seeing it in Colorado. The whole trip I was struck by how much the Eastern Sierra reminded me of Colorado, from the mountains and fir trees all the way to the sagebrush.

You may also notice some haze in the pictures. At least part of it is from the prodigious fires in the area. The California Office of Emergency Services has some great maps and data available (that's a 2008 link - parse it if necessary).
