On the north east over the summit, we saw the .

Flat regions near Ridgecrest had mostly still water that reflected distant peaks.
The West Walker River meandered with snowmelt, and after joining with other tributary creeks, grew to a full and rapid-running river heading down to Topaz Lake at border of California and Nevada.

Morning observations...

Mild. Fleeting cloud. Golden gorse glows like static fire on the hillsides. The tar black branches of burnt pines. A circling eagle with a wondrous wingspan , & the secret shadowed ravines of the soaring sierras...

Beautiful winter weather up by Jenkinson Lake. Our original destination was Yosemite, but it has been closed because of all the snow storms rolling through. Apparently, when you want to go snowshoeing, there is such a thing as too much snow.

Possibly the best photo ever that I have taken (aside from the mountain goats) while . Rolled out of the tent around 6 a.m. one 2015 morning in the and caught some morning alpenglow, and a cloud shadow. One of the Nydiver Lakes in the foreground. I guess Banner and Ritter peaks in the background.
