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.

This night we camped on the pass that is the boundary between Yosemite National Park and Ansel Adams Wilderness. The last colors of the sunset reflected in a small tarn by our camp.
