Dusy Basin

Dusy Basin is a stunning alpine area located in the Sierra Nevada of California, nestled within Kings Canyon National Park. Known for its breathtaking scenery, the basin features crystal-clear lakes, lush meadows, and rugged granite peaks. It's a popular destination for hikers and backpackers, offering access to picturesque trails and remarkable views, including the iconic Palisade Glacier. The basin's serene environment and diverse wildlife make it a perfect spot for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure in a pristine wilderness setting.

Dusy Basin in the High Sierra is one of my favorite places to backpack, and I always try to time my trips to catch the sunrise light on the peaks. The water was still enough this morning to get a perfect reflection of the ridgeline.
