Dusy Basin Backpacking Trip

            Kings Canyon National Park, California - September 13, 1992

A shot of Dusy Basin taken in the Kings Canyon National Park in California with the mountains on the eastern edge of Dusy Basin. The name of the mountains starting from the left are, Mt Agassiz (13,899 ft), Mt Winchell (13,781 ft), Thunderbolt Peak (14,009 ft), North Palisade (14,249 ft), and Isosceles Peak (12,321 ft). Bishop Pass is just to the left of Mt Agassiz.

Dusy Basin is a large basin around 11,200 - 11,500 ft elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. There are many small lakes and ponds scattered about the basin with a stream connecting a lot of the lakes and ponds.

This was a five day four night backpacking trip that me and my friend from Seattle with his wife did from September 13th to the 17th. We met up with three of their friends from California at Bishop Pass. The backpacking trip started at South Lake to over Bishop Pass (elevation 11,972 ft) in the John Muir Wilderness. From the pass down into the Dusy Basin you're in the Kings Canyon National Park. We had plans to stay two other nights, but in the morning we awoke up to snow and cold weather due to a remnant hurricane. So on the 17th we packed up and headed out. 

Scanned from a 35mm negative using a Pentax PZ-10 camera, Pentax FA 28-80mm f/3.5-4.7 lens. A polarizing lens filter was used.
