A Trip in Skeena Photos

This past weekend, I headed down US 395, took a right at Tom's Place (between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop), drove to the end of the road, parked, and started a 4-day, 3-night hike (an in-and-out trip over Mono Pass). Here's the trip in Skeena:

Dog is impatiently waiting to go.



Dog is drinking from a frozen stream at the top of Mono Pass (it was coo-oold).



Dog turns in early along with me. Her sleeping spot is usually at the foot of the tent, but it was cold and she's a warm body.



Tired dog is waiting for the tent to be set up so she can go inside and sleep.



Dog sleeps on the sleeping bags.




The very last night, Skeena rolled in something really smelly. After a quick bath, I wouldn't let her inside the tent until she was mostly dry. All night long that tent stunk like a smelly wet dog.

PS-Tom's Place has fantastic turkey burgers and fantastic blueberry pie. If you ever find yourself between Mammoth and Bishop looking for a place to eat, I 100% recommend this place. They even have a hitching post for dogs.
