Alpen Glow, Evolution Valley

In the summer of 1988 I hiked the John Muir Trail, which travels 221 miles from Yosemite Valley to the summit of Mount Whitney. I took photographs along the trail and over the next year and a half did a suite of 17 etchings of this Sierra Nevada backpack.

The last glow of the western sunset lights Mount Huxley. At 11,000 feet, Evolution Basin is one of the most spectacular vistas in the Sierra Nevada.
