For the last 8 days Tulip and I hiked 80 miles of the John Muir Trail with a few friends, mostly above 10,000 ft. He took up a familiar place in my pack and kept me warm on cold nights.
Like me, Tulip most loves the really high passes. We went over 12,000 feet twice!
We all loved the little stone hut at the top of Muir Pass:
And Tulip even made friends with some very relaxed marmots. Can you spot two in this picture (below)?
Beautiful! So great that you can handle the air at such a high altitudes.
So good to see Tulip again. Hope all is going well. Itching to get out to CA and see some of this myself now that Greg is gonna be there a while.
