Big Pine North Fork Lakes & Palisades Glacier Trail: One dude, two nights, three days, 24 miles, & 6,000’ elevation gain (up to glacier at 12,500’) 🥳 . Unusually warm. Full moon out early. Very few backpackers (until Saturday). Blue lakes. Brown lakes. Yellow aspens almost red. Grey boulders. Black coffee. Hot ramen. (C)old glacier. Sore legs. Happy heart. . Will share the aspens in a separate post 😍 . #DontTakeNatureForGranite #Perspective #RocksSoHard #SoInTents #NeverAdmitDaFeet #TrailDustInTheWind #CarryOnMyWaywardSun #SoloBackpacker #JourneyNotDestination #ButThisPlaceIsAmazeballz #BigPineLakes #BigPineNorthFork #PalisadesGlacier #SecondLake #FifthLake #InyoNationalForest #EasternSierra #EasternSierraNevada #Backpacking #Camping #NorCal https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj_yUZwp-pN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
