Mineral King 2025

My good friend Mark Jen and I took the train from San Francisco, after spending the night at his place in the Presidio, to Fresno. Our friend Reyna picked us up from the train station and we stayed the night at her place and then did a 3 day 2 night backpacking trip in Mineral King.
