Siberian Pass
This is another shot from my backpacking trip in the Eastern Sierra. Just inside Sequoia National Park (literally by about 100 feet) is this little overlook. It's just above the Siberian Pass. This is looking South at sunset, you can see the Sierra stretching almost to the Southern most tip from here. Everything North of here at this altitude is still covered in snow.
Behind me to the North is a large unnamed meadow where we camped after packing through a thunder storm...not my idea of fun. Down in front of the ridge before me and a little to the left along the Siberian Pass Trail is Big Whitney Meadows. This little overlook, which was only about a two hundred foot climb had remarkable views. It was only about a 40 minute hike from camp. The 360 degree view was awesome. And the only noise was the wind. It's times like these that remind you how majestic this land really is.
