Desolation Canyon Photo Post

Okay , for some reason I cannot reaarange the photos. So I'll just add captions and call it good.
Now some of them are pretty grainy. At some point in the trip my ISO got bumped to 1600 so it screwed up a lot of my photos. Just a disclaimer...

..and some of the really nice ones are likely Zach's...
