This blog is going to be about my quest to climb all the mountains in California higher than fourteen thousand feet (4267 meters for my metric friends). All but two of these are in the Sierra Nevada. The Sierra are pretty high mountains – there are around 150 peaks in the Sierra higher than thirteen thousand feet. There are only fifteen 14ers (depending on definitions). Perhaps that’s a quixotic and arbitrary number coming from our odd choice of length units; still, fifteen peaks sounds like just about the right number for me. And it gets me out doing what I love, which is hiking, camping in beautiful alpine settings, and standing on top of peaks looking down in all directions.
WOW! Awesome pics!
Take care, lots of love from one of your “metric friends ” somewhere at the other end of the world….
