Peakbagging

Why did Dad and I feel the need to hike to the top of this mountain? Because it's there.

After a few hours of slogging uphill, we reached the summit of Sonora Peak (11,464 ft.), the high point of Alpine County. I have to say that the views were worth the effort. The peaks of Northern Yosemite were especially dramatic from this vantage point.

I also have bragging rights now as a bonus.
