Won a coveted permit to hike to the gorgeous 'Wave' in Coyote Buttes North, Arizona, USA. Only 64 people or 16 groups are allowed to go daily and permits are issued via an online and a geo-fenced lottery. One of my favorite places given the beauty and solitude.1yr ⋅ The_Light_Explorer ⋅ r/hiking

The Milky Way over the Zion Wilderness. It was a 7 mile, one-way hike, to get to this location, but totally worth it. I started my hike around 3 hours before sunset, to get to this point. The hike out, at 2 AM through the forest and meadows, was nerve-wracking | Nikon D850 | Nikon 70-200 E Fl lens3yr ⋅ The_Light_Explorer ⋅ r/spaceporn

Taking the distances from Cottonwood Pass to Whitney and adding 211 miles from there, I am falling a few miles short. Any ideas where I might be off? Which leg?1yr ⋅ The_Light_Explorer ⋅ r/JMT
