Photo of the day: Log crossing in the Desolation Wilderness

While I’ve had fun this winter playing in the snowy mountains of Utah, I can’t help but look forward to summer hikes in the Sierra Nevada mountains as well. The wildflowers and lakes, the mosquitoes…well I could pass on those. Regardless, we already have a few trips planned for summer and I’m looking forward to them. Photos like this one, taken by my sister during our July backpacking trip, keep my anticipation high for backpacking season.
