Valhalla is a well known locale along the High Sierra Trail in Sequoia National Park. Many photos feature an upstream perspective, looking towards Hamilton Lake, and the beautifully massive cluff face, Angels Wings, looming over it.
On this adventure, I miscalculated the first day's difficulty by a comically large amount, and missed out on the classic view with fading daylight. I plopped down at a stream crossing in exhaustion, and caught up on some much needed food and drink. With a few moments of recovery, I was able to take in my surroundings, and the striking beauty of the sunset. I didn't miss out on Valhalla, but instead rewarded a new perspective of it.
