White Mountain Peak - Day 2 : Day 2 of the camping trip. Mono Lake, with its strange tufa formations, the Panum volcanic crater, and an almost successful attempt to scale Lembert Dome in Yosemite. Our attempt was again foiled by another magnificent thunderstorm.

White Mountain Peak - Day 1 : Day 1 of a camping trip to the White Mountains. An attempt to scale the 14k foot peak was thwarted by a magnificent thunderstorm that brought with it majestic clouds, rain and a shower of hail that made the mountain live up to its name. Having escaped the storm, we then made our way to the Bristlecone pine grove, home to some of the oldest trees in the world.
