Gibbs Canyon, Eastern Sierra Nevada, CA 10-18
(1 in a multiple picture album)
Each year I head up to Mammoth Lakes for Autumn Foliage pics, and then spend another day up in the high country of Yosemite NP. That requires driving north on CA 395 and turning onto CA 120 (Tioga Road). Tioga Rd begins a long climb up to Tuolumne Meadows. Just a couple miles up the road is a pullout, and down below is Gibbs Canyon. I always stop there because it gives me a wonderful view of so many things: forest, meadow, peaks, and sky.
I enjoy this spot because it also provides a scene not found many places today. A place where people have not intruded. A place of quiet and solitude.
