Had a wonderful, exhausting, and exhilarating four day solo backpacking trip through the Hoover, upper Yosemite, and Emigrant Wildernesses. So quiet at times you could hear birds flap their wings from 200 yards away. Crossing over Big Sam (elev. 10,825’) with 50mph+ cross winds yesterday morning was a joy I’ll never forget. Even caught a glimpse of the northern lights on Thursday night. #hiking #backpacking #wilderness #sierras
