The morning sun is just a bright pledge from the other side of the mountains as we climb through sagebrush and manzanita shrub, up angled masses of gray granite cut by ancient glaciers. Black flecks glimmer like mysterious jewels in the gray-white rock. Tiny succulents and clusters of pink flowers that look like kittens’ paws push upward through the sandy dirt. We grab hold of ledges to steady our climb, rest on natural stone benches. Trees spring improbably from the soft turf between ridges, their red branches gnarled by alpine winds. We hike in silence.

Even in her housedress and comfortable shoes, Dorothy effortlessly catches her stride.

I scramble to keep up with her as she eases down a shadowed cliff. It’s not lost on me, the fact that I’m following a total stranger off trail into the Sierra outback like some creepy scene from Unsolved Mysteries, but there’s a cool wind on my shoulders, and even as I’m tripping to keep pace with Dorothy, some blind confidence whispers I’m where I need to be.
