This is such a lovely trip video. I have so many fond memories of this place, and I relived them watching this vid. I'm looking forward to watching more of your channel
Great video! I did that exact trip just before you guys in early September. My tent was even on the same spot on that peninsula on Lower Soldier’s Lake. That little pond as you enter Miter Basin just blew my mind. What a place
That is not columnar basalt. It's fractured granite.. There is some volcanic rock and a little columnar basalt to the southwest, around Little Whitney Meadow, Natural Bridge, and Volcano Creekreek, and where Golden Trout Creek spill into the Kern Canyon, but none here. You're referring to "Devil's Postpile," about 150 miles north, near mammoth Lakes.
Yes, it's part of a very pretty view looking out across the Kern Basin- the largest tract of relatively gentle high country in all the Sierra. My favorite old stomping grounds! Cheers, tom@@AdventureMuse

I really want to go back and spend more time in that area. We loved Miter and Soldier Lake. But the Altitude kicks my butt!
@@AdventureMuse I used Diamox for the altitude. It’s not magic but definitely decreases the chances of acute mountain sickness.
Super as always 🙂
Thanks so much Petr!
Amazing footage. Really love that GoPro opening shot under water to overwater. Fantastic video!
Thanks so much, Jeff. So wish I could go back and see it this year with all the
Water
Looks incredible! And that dude was really into his meal. haha
LOL, Yes he was. I did cut it a bit, too. Can't wait to get back to the mountains!
What a beautiful adventure! thanks for taking us along. and the food reviews!!! Some of those look really good!
Thanks for coming along
Thank you for adding the vegan food links.
Of course!
so beautiful, except that sufferfest part. LOL!
Thank you and I agree!😂
You didn't go up to Sky Blue and Irridescent Lakes? They are the highlights of the basin, and easy to reach!!!
Our friends did. I was kind of sick from the altitude 😩 I really need to acclimate better

Thanks for the info. It kind of reminded me of devils postpile by mammoth. Either way, it was a beautiful rock formation.
