Easter in Wilkinson's Valley:
April 9-10, 2004

Perfect campsite for my Bibler.

Townsend granite, near Abbott saddle.

Sunset view down Wilkinsons Valley and the south ridge of Abbotts peak.

I set out before breakfast to hike up Townsend and Abbotts. The overnight temperature in my tent was -9C, but still no snow.
The sweeping treeless valleys are waiting for this year's snow.
The valley floor is covered with frost.

From Townsend I look down on Abbott.

Dawn view of Mt Jagungal.
