In this final episode of our Ansel Adams adventure we head past Badger Lakes while passing the River Trail to reach the High Trail. From here we hike along sagebrush plains with vistas reaching for hundreds of miles across the Ritter Range of Light.

In this episode we awoke to crystal clear skies over picturesque Garnet Lake and get in a little fishing before heading up the John Muir Trail past Ruby and Emerald Lakes to Thousand Island Lake. Along the way Mike meets an amateur photographer who takes a stunning photo of him fishing at Garnet Lake and we endure a frightning thunderstorm at Thousand Island Lake.
