Bishop July 10 2023

 This time we planned on Mono pass and whatever. This year the snow was about 3 times average so we had to change the hikes. We started on Mono pass trail but too much snow for us to make any further than Ruby lake.

On the way over we stopped by the Ancient Bristlecone forest

This is the view of the Sierra from the forest.


Buckwheat was blooming well.
