A lovely hike into Miter Basin from Horseshoe Meadows
In 2010, the PD and I trekked through Miter Basin during a 2-night, 33-mile trip to Mount Whitney. Our short time through this basin stuck with me. 13 years later, it was wonderful to visit it with friends, old and new, and spend two full days exploring its high lakes and falls.
