High Sierras, California

This may be Heaven for backpackers. At least in my mind. There are few places where you can so easily wander off trail for days amid limitless beauty with ideal weather.

Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain-passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action. Even the sick should try these so-called dangerous passes, because for every unfortunate they kill, they cure a thousand.              --- John Muir
