Thank you for all the great beta and inspiration for the Trinity Alps. I just made it out there for the first time and was blown away.

The traverse from Canyon Creek up to L, Sawtooth and Smith Lake was some of the most scenic backcountry I’ve experienced.

I’m looking forward to making my way through your trip reports and checking out more beautiful places. Enjoy the summer!

Hi Leor,

I love following your adventures and adventuring in the High Sierra. I host a podcast called All Bodies Outside that connects to my research as a professor of park management and conservation. I was wondering if you’d be interested to be on the podcast?

Thanks for kindly considering my request.

-Dr. Brian Peterson

Leor, I just saw the photos in the Bear Creek Spire Blog Post you did in 2017. These are hands down the most gorgeous photos of this beautiful peak, Little Lakes Valley below and the surrounding Sierras. I climbed this mountain back in 1975, and have one poor photo of three of us near the top. I have not climbed it since, and have been searching for photos which capture the the beauty and magnificence of it all. And yours do. Was Dade Lake truly this color of aqua blue” Amazing. Love the way you captured the frozen ice layer and water beneath. And the flowers are a treat to see. Amazing, that flowers grow up this high.. You were blessed with a crystal blear blue sky. In recent years past, air has been hazy due to Forest Fires. I think only year in the past 4 -5 years have I been there on a clear day. It does not seem like you alter your photos much, you just are able to capture the pure essence of it all. I love the vantage points you chose to take pics at, I could go on and on. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
