Trail sign. Conditions are pretty dry, as it is late in the season. - Frank Farmer's Photos

Dayhike to Twin Lakes and Island Lake in Desolation Wilderness, with Karen, Lisa, and Eric from the Yahoo Sacramento Hikers Group. A great day in the mountains! My first time hiking in this area, despite living in Sacramento since 1980. A few days after our hike, a serious forest fire occurred near Wrights Lake.

Thanks to Karen and Lisa, for suggesting the use of Canon PhotoStitch software in making the panoramas included in this photo essay. As they said, it works a lot better than the Photoshop Elements I've been using.
