Leavitt Falls was something to behold as it cascaded over its ~220' drop.
A zoomed-in shot of Leavitt Falls.
Looking into the heart of the Little Walker Caldera and members of the Eureka Valley Tuff. I'd never before seen the cascade in center of photograph flowing.
Meanders of the West Walker River, flowing at about 3000cfs. Check out all the point bars and fresh cutbanks.
There are worse places for lunch.
Two cowfolks cross Leavitt Creek. Water looks to be about 3ft deep.
Laura and Zephyr were curious to see what the record snowpack looked like on Sonora Pass this late into June. We had heard there were still areas directly off the highway with more than five feet of snow and that runoff caused by our recent heatwave was causing evening flooding across HWY 108. The drive did not disappoint! Not only did we see more snow that we’d imagined, we saw more cars! Like 10x’s the normal amount, likely due to the fact that Tioga Pass is still closed.
