The Grand Daddy
During a Sierras backpacking trip last fall, our group hiked a ridge overlooking our campsite and found this glorious tree. It’s weather-beaten and gnarled, but its massive roots have a firm grip upon the granite it sits on. I’m gonna design a beer label at some point featuring this guy front-and-center. Holler at me, brewers.

I’ve been chronicling her process for months now and I plan on putting together some multimedia features in the near future. Stay tuned.
