Devil's Post Pile - yeah, we really liked the Mammoth Lakes area. The first shot is Mt. Whitney from the hills above the Owens Valley on the east side. California is a great state for road tripping. Yellowstone to Glacier is a great area too.

Our trip was

Texas Hill Country
Big Bend
Sky Islands of SE Arizona
San Diego (brother)
Mt. Whitney
Mammoth Lakes
Yosemite
Lassen
Redwoods
Oregon Coast
Crater Lake
Bend area
Mt. Hood
Mt. St. Helens
Olympic Peninsula
Cascades
Washington desert
Glacier NP
Yellowstone
Tetons
Medicine Bow range in Wyoming

Right at 14,000 miles driven.

Before we were married, my wife and I stopped here on our way out to Portland. As we were driving into the camping area I told her that the mountains looked like something out of a cartoon; more like bubbles than jagged rock.

Later when we were hiking around we found an information plaque that said the Indians that lived there believed that the mountains were formed by "playful spirits".

I thought that was pretty cool, like I was on the same wavelength with them.
