Description
I am an avid hiker, and prepared for weeks for my rugged "Trans-Sierra" climb. We spent the night before the hike in Lone Pine, California, them drove an hour to the trailhead in the morning. Four of us began our 24 mile hike at 4:30am at the trailhead at the end of Onion Valley Road, with headlamps attached to our hats. We had hiked about an hour, when the dramatic colors of the alpenglow just before sunrise became visible. We were at approximately 10,000' elevation. Wow! What a beautiful, vast, amazing wilderness area. Nature's artwork! Fortunately, my hiking companions waited while I took this shot.
... .... ....
This was a one-way hike, terminating at "Road's End" in Kings Canyon National Park. In order to do this one-way, and not to backtrack, we met another group of 4 friends about halfway, and exchanged car keys. A lot of planning and coordination went into this adventure.

Tho note that the criteria for WIDE New Year Jan & Art 4 Gallery monthly contests is not merely pano but WIDE format ideally Length 3 TIMES Width (ie 21x7, 24x6) for virtual roadside billboards or pixel yoga mats... Hoping you can resubmit your photos that didn't size correctly. EZ fix & create new artwork and hopefully gain new audience with your great captures by wide cropping, triptychs or some other creative method. Admin, GJ glorijean
