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.

At above 11,400 ft the alpine tundra has fierce drying winds, bitter cold, and intense ultra-violet light which create a harsh growing environment. Occasionally you will be lucky enough to get a pleasant fall day, as I did.

Последниот автомобил под знакот на Alpine излезе од фабриката во 1995 година. Враќањето на марката беше извесно уште претходно, а сега е познат и изгледот и техниката на моделот што ќе пристигне в година.
