I love driving in the Alps. Whether by car, by bike or even by Trotti; I like it all the same. I guess I like it that the road never reveals too much what lies a head, yet the landscape can give you a pretty good hint. To know what to expect or even to understand the route I find myself always looking to the mountains and the valleys for an answer. Eventually I only know what I see in front of me up unto the next corner...

An outcropping of shattered rock in the Sierra Nevada alpine zone
My favorite Sierra Nevada backcountry terrain is just a bit lower than this scene — it is the country right at tree line, where small, scattered trees are separated by meadows and rocky areas. But when it come to exhilarating "high and wild" country, places like the one in this photograph cannot be beat. They are so rugged and unadapted to our human way of living that they remind us that this is not entirely "our" world. Yet, with care and persistence, you can enter this country, pass through it, enjoy and even be changed by the experience.
Here I found this outcropping of weathered and shattered stone at the base of a huge talus slope that led up toward the highest peaks. One of those higher ridges blocked the sun, and the scene is softly illuminated by gentle light reflected from nearby high peaks. Looking at this scene it might seem completely impassable. Yet I watched a couple of backpackers slowly make their way across it. This is the sort of country where progress is no longer measured in miles per hour — it is more likely a matter of hours per mile. I recall one such place I crossed a few years ago where our progress dropped to perhaps a quarter-mile per hour as we picked our way past boulders, along benches, and across talus. It was one of the most memorable hikes I've had.
