Soaking up every last bit of summer. After @meg_haywoodsullivan and I got our overnight permits from the @yosemitenps station, we had a long walk with heavy packs full of camera gear to our first camp, in the heat of the afternoon. A few miles in, I couldn't resist taking a dip in the watering hole. Our goal was to visit the Lyell glacier and tell a story about climate change, but the creeks along the way are inextricably linked to our mission. According to the USGS, glaciers store about 69% of the world's freshwater- what's happening to our glaciers is significant not just to adventurers but to people all around the world. #DeathOfAGlacier #yosemite photo: @meg_haywoodsullivan
