Cherries: the Upper and the West

Upper Cherry and West Cherry are two of the greatest overnight trips on the face of planet earth. The glacial gutters carved into the solid granite bedrock of the Sierra Nevada range provide more than enough stimulation for the eyes and adrenal glands during the time spent careening down mother nature's handmade waterslides. Since there are already numerous descriptions of the runs, and the hikes, I will spare you the details, and get right down to the porn. Enjoy the pics.
