The Rae Lakes Loop is a back country trail in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon national park. The loop is 42 miles long, and climbs from 5035' at the trailhead to 11,978' at Glen Pass.
The trail head start with Randy at Roads End station.
Yosemite like views without trails being trampled by tourist, there's something unique about isolation in the untamed wild.
The rugged terrain boast big trees, high peaks, pristine lakes and deep canyons.
Nature's streams provides all the aid stations needed (using my MSR filter).
Unspoiled nature.
Nature is a piece of Scott Nelson's character, not an abstract idea so being in nature is how I'm trying to connect with the space he left behind.
Climbing Glen Pass oxygen gets thin, only 70% as compared to sea level.

Enormous rock faces.
LIving life in the presence of nature.
