One time I bypassed much of Evolution Valley and took the scenic route ducking around the Hermit and up to McGee Lakes...then back on the trail and up to Dusy Basin...still one of my favorite spots in the Sierras for lightning action! That was a fun hike...Florence Lake to Lake Sabrina (near Bishop) across the Sierras.

In 1902, I suppose one followed the native trails into the Sierras and over the passes.
