We saw this spot below Forester and I truly felt bad for setting up camp here as it felt like we were walking on holy ground. This spot sat in a bowl with a 270 degee view of snow mountains around us a mountain stream behind us and two crystal clear glacier blue lakes in front of us. Beyond the lakes was a drop off into Viddette's Valley a few thousand feet below us and King's Canyon.

This spot made me understand everything John Muir ever wrote. I have never been anywhere so pristine and so untouched by man. I woke up at 5am this morning to go wander around the bowl while the sun fought to climb ovwr the suroumding mountaind. There were countless waterfalls from the snow melt and the grass was green and plush from the streams. I have never experienced a contrast so great from the desert to these surroundings.
