Photograph caption dated June 5, 1959 reads, "Man and boy on the trail - Edward Morris, left, and Bruce Richie, members of the West Valley YMCA, shown on the High Sierra pack-in, several miles beyond Lake of the Lone Indian, on John Muir Trail. Here's a man's vacation in every sense. From the base camp at Mammoth Lakes, campers ride and hike into the back country to Deer Lakes, nine miles from civilization. For six wonderful days they'll live on top of the world, in the most majestic mountain country in the United States. It's rugged, but it's camping at its best."; See images #00115334 through #00115338 for all photos in this series.
