View from Glen Pass

A wide look from Glen Pass across the Sierra, lake after lake below and a steep run of scree dropping away, cumulus overhead.

I was high on a ridge in the Sierra Nevada, looking out over a vast expanse of granite peaks and glacial lakes. The clouds were building in the afternoon, casting moving shadows across the landscape, and I could see a few hikers resting on the rocky slope to my right.
