McGee Creek, John Muir Wilderness.
This has been one of my favorite hikes so far. I love the textures of the aspen who have largely lost their leaves for the coming winter. The trail follows the drainage, and that makes a wide sweeping curve as it climbs up into the mountains, views and foliage seem to change every minute, and the mountains beckon.
