Album Description:
This was our 3rd try at this section of Roper's Sierra High Route. Sept '04 we got snowed out, Jul '05 too much snow and high water crossings. Days 2-9 were on new ground for us, and we didn't talk to anyone from Day 3-9. Great trip!

Hi Cori! That sandwich looks pretty darn good! I really Love Merriam Lake & Lasalle lake looks neat too, but more barren like. Beautiful pictures :)
