Overnight backpack trip with Jason, to Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, in Yosemite National Park. Hoping to cross Falls Creek and check out the summit of Hetch Hetchy Dome. Would we be able to do that? A great trip, in any event. Upon returning home, we were saddened to learn of the disappearance of Michael Ficery, who was solo backpacking near the area we visited. He is still missing.
Hetch Hetchy Panorama from Smith Peak -- David and Bex took this photo from the summit of Smith Peak, just south of Hetch Hetchy. The photo was taken the week before our hike. It showed us that snow would not be an issue. The area we'll visit is to the left of the triangular shadow on the opposite side of the lake. Photo courtesy of David and Bex.
