Upper Vidette Meadow

Looking down the length of Bubbs Creek from above Upper Vidette Meadow, with polished granite walls to the right and cloud building over the peaks.

Hiking in the Sierra Nevada in late July, I was struck by the contrast between the granite peaks and the dense green forests filling the valley below, all under a sky heavy with cumulus clouds.
