The lower Piute Pass trail near North Lake is built for hikers and mules. My brother and I are hiking out today driving up to Reno, where I catch an early morning flight back east and my brother drives up to Oregon. It’s been a great 14 day wilderness experience.

I met my brother at Upper Piute lake, just below the pass. He’d pulled his groin on Day 3 of our 14 day trip, so we split up. He’s been taking it easy doing short hikes in beautiful country. John Muir Wilderness, Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA Photo by Van MIller

There’s still smoke in the air. When I reached trail’s end, I learned that the source was the Shafer fire, which went wild and closed down backcountry access. John Muir Wilderness, Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA Photo by Van Miller
