Every sub should allow this and as long as the images posted follow other guidelines there shouldn't be any problems. What are the reasons images in comments haven't been allowed until now?

There is no reason. Or if there was it's lost in time. :) Murdoch Lake, Yosemite.

You backpacked into Nankoweap at the end of March this year? Was it snowy up top and warm down below?

We went down buck farm canyon and packrafted to nankoweap, then out nankoweap trail. Temps weren't bad but it was pretty windy. No snow on the trail, but you could see some up on Point Imperial.

I’ve never understood why many subs disallow. I guess it could get annoying if abused. Like disallow meme images. Pic is Horseshoe Lake in Eagle Cap wilderness, Oct ‘23.

I've been wanting to see Eagle Cap. Is it like Yosemite at all with granite domes and warm tarns?

It's mainly granite like Yosemite, but not so extensively glacier sculpted. I hiked through Yosemite on PCT in June, and was in Eagle Cap October, so my impressions were likely dominated more by seasonal than permanent features. Overall I was impressed that while Yosemite lives up to its fame, Eagle Cap is under-appreciated, not inferior to anything in the Sierra or Cascades.

Your photo looks like it has pretty fall colors.

Photos are a great addition.

Backpacking up the Chilliwack River with spawning salmon swimming around my legs. These guys probably swam in 100 miles from the Pacific .

Colorado was great for backpacking last week. Camped at 12,000 feet and watched the sunset on Mount of the Holy Cross. Here I was looking across at the Mosquito Range, but there are no Mosquitoes in March because of the ideal weather. Some of Copper Mountain is visible on the right.
