Last July we hiked off-trail into the Gardiner Basin in Kings Canyon NP, leaving the JMT just north of Glenn Pass. The best hiking was in the 60 Lakes Basin.

Oh, wow! That looks like a highway up the mountain. Very clear picture, really nice but I can imagine the crowds up there.

Love the wildlife shots, too.

I don't carry big zoom lens on the hikes, but this beaver swam only a couple yards away - probably was trying to figure out what I was.

Coopers Hawk!

REALLY cool bird, he hunts other birds! I was told the eye color becomes more Orange as they age, starting out red like this one!

I love Coopers. Last year there was a nest near one of the walking trails by my house. Squirrels were always on high alert.

Keep your eyes to the sky little bunny. Love the green heron. Great shots as usual.
