As the years go by, I reflect more and more on the wonderful
times I have spent in Kings Canyon National Park. It contains the heart of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains and much of the John Muir Trail. Because access is
limited, it is virtually an unspoiled area with rivers and lakes galore. The backcountry
rangers are a special resource and I have had an opportunity to chat with most.
Many have been with the Park Service for over 20 years. I have found my fellow
pilgrims to be good environmental stewards that leave few traces other than
footprints. Some of you folks who see this may have crossed paths with me on
the trail and shared brief conversations. I thought at the end of this hiking/backpacking
season, it would be fitting to show some of my favorite photographs taken in
Kings Canyon. I already miss the wilderness and now await the first snow for
backcountry skiing in the Sierra National Forest nearby. Many of the
photographs were taken this summer. I hope you enjoy them.
