NW from Whitewing to one of the obsidian domes to Deer Mt. and the Inyo Craters


and on around to Crowley Lake, the Sherwins and Mammoth Mountain to the SE
together, almost 180 deg.


"Scotty and the Minarets" with the setting sun


"the road ends here" as you look across Deadman's Pass and on up the San Joaquin Ridge


a look down one of the couloirs and then head back up the trail to the roads end


the view is of Mammoth Mountain as we walk back down the road


and a special gift - the sun set right in the notch between Ritter and Banner Pks.
