【June 22 2013】Bear Lakes Basin stretches between Whitebark Country and Lake Country, two of the five segments of the Sierra High Route, a 195-mile trail in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The hiking route runs parallel to the more famous and less strenuous John Muir Trail. Hikers often spend weeks on just one segment of the Sierra High Route, which encourages wandering and exploration. Explore breathtaking Gallery from the HuluTrip homepage over the past 5 years..
