Aztec Peak

Tahoe and I climbed over 1,300 feet to reach the highest peak in the Sierra Anchas. The flower filled meadows were gorgeous.

The sunflowers really stood out against the blackened pine trees.

It's caterpillar season! They were everywhere. I awoke to find a half dozen of them crawling up my tent. I'm not sure why they were so attracted to it, but I watched one little guy fall down twice, and each time, he came back for another try.

This is the view from halfway up the mountain. The sunflowers stand out amongst the skinny, burnt trees. Roosevlet Lake is in the background.
