The #RussianWilderness. It's not very big, but packs a punch. I hadn't been and found my way from the south via the #PacificCrestTrail. For my 1st day of 3 #backpacking, one of the jewels of the area: Russian Lake.

There's still scattered burn and surreal twice burned areas on the third day backpacking, but there's also unburned and healthy after the burn areas. My plans had to morph a little and I got in tagging a peak right at the end!

Here's the first day (links to the rest are at the top of the post) of backpacking in the Trinity Alps on my own after doing the first week of trail work. A bit of burn, crazy burn, surreal twice burned, scattered burn, grand (5th) day, then back across burn. Even burn has its moments.

Trail work with the Bigfoot Trail Alliance was cut short after the 2AM lightning storm that has apparently lit off 19 fires in the #MarbleMountainWilderness including this one among the Sky High Lakes. The air was actually clearer in the basin even though it had it's own smoke source.
