Continuing with the High Sierra theme, I painted this last year as a present for my father in California. My earliest awarness of the High Sierra was when I was probably about five years old. My dad would have still been in his twenties and he hiked the John Muir Trail with friends in the days before lightweight food was available They carried old style kelty backpacks that were essentially torture racks, filled with canned food. My father has had a remarkably healthy life, and continues to backpack with me and my friends and now my children. He will turn 75 on the last day of this years week long trip that will include an ascent of Mount Whitney.
