Travels With Brewer: Bloody Canyon

After crossing the pass, the way leads down Bloody Canyon—a terrible trail. You would all pronounce it utterly inaccessible to horses, yet pack trains come down, but the bones of several horses or mules and the stench of another told that all had not passed safely. The trail comes down three thousand feet in less than four miles, over rocks and loose stones, in narrow canyons and along by precipices. It was a bold man who first took a horse up there. The horses were so cut by sharp rocks that they named it “Bloody Canyon,” and it has held the name—and it is appropriate—part of the way the rocks in the trail are literally sprinkled with blood from the animals.
--William H. Brewer, July 1863

Eastern Sierra Living

Not trying to step on Tom's toes here, just posting a shot he might have taken (or liked).

Tioga Pass

Along Tioga Pass, east of Yosemite, on the road to Hwy. 395.

Pelicans on the Wing

Spotted these fine fellows flying in formation over the Bridgeport 4th of July parade and had the presence of mind to capture them in flight.

See Your West: Hunewill Ranch, Bridgeport CA

Just a shot taken along the road from Bridgeport to Twin Lakes. A torrential rain storm that passed through while we were there produced some very dramatic clouds and new snow in July!

Just the Flax, Ma'am

Western Blue Flax (Linum lewisii) in Leavitt Meadow, off Highway 108 east of Sonora Pass (about 18 air miles from Generik's cowboy).

See Your West: Travertine Hot Springs

A natural hot spring (with man-made pools) just off Highway 395, east of Bridgeport.
