Piute Pass to Bishop Pass

This was the 1st backpack that I had ever led. I managed to finally get someone to come along which was Keith then came Homer at the last minute Eugene and Anna came on..... me telling Anna that it was all downhill after Piute Pass (I really hadn't done my homework). Keith having studied the map gave out the news at Muir Ranch.

There were 3 passes... Piute,Muir and Bishop all of course tough. I have included a picture of Yete (trail name) who we met on the way up Muir Pass amazing guy who showed Anna what plants could be eaten in the wild which she greatly appreicated.
