Hike form Mono Basin to Sierra Nevada Mountains

One of the day at Mono Lake area we got up in the morning ready to do a hike. There were lots of hike trails in this area. We chose to do one from the Mono basin up to a Sierra mountain canyon with destination to Parker Lake.
Here we go! Up the trail!At first the terrine was very dry and spear.
The Sierra Mountains where we were going looked far for a while.


The hike got kind of too steep for Zulita for a while. She was huffing and puffing in some areas since the hike was up hill all the way.
Gordon was doing just fine. No huffing and puffing for him. He was very patience in waiting for Zulita to catch up to him in numerous orations.



Following are just a few of the many wild flowers we saw on this hike up the mountain.







After hiking for a while Mono Lake looked far below.


The Sierra Nevada Mountains started to look closer but still too high. I wondered how much of it be will have to hike before we come to our lake destination.


Waterfall

Came to an area full of redwood trees.
Love the redwood trees!
Hiked by a floating river for a while

Came to a dense forest area



Finally came to the Parker Lake, or destination. Wow!!!!

Being here was worth the hike.
