Day 3 of 3 backpacking Mount Moriah Wilderness in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest was just getting back, but it was sunnier and there were more flowers photographed and more birds seen.

Day 2 of 3 #backpacking the Mount Moriah Wilderness was given over to bagging the namesake peak and then exploring The Table. The trail to the top certainly isn't as mapped. The mountain and plateau are covered in grand bristlecone pines.

Day 1 of 3 backpacking the Mount Moriah Wilderness to the namesake peak. This day was consumed by the beautiful canyon followed by Hendry's Creek. It did happen to rain and soak my boots through in the afternoon, but there was sunshine before and after. And freezing shortly after dark.
