Inlet Box Lake
2011 was an exceptiionally high snow year. This was taken in June. The Hourglass Couloir is just to the right of the peak in the center. I was on my way back after glisading down from the top of the couloir.

I found this tree on a ledge above McGee Lake, near Glen Aulin in Yosemite National Park.
