High Sierra Topix

I had originally planned for an overnight trip to Mt. Langley, but after several cancellations, I decided that I would just take on several day hikes solo. Looking at a list of possible hikes in the area, I decided on Mono Pass, with the possibility of a little class 2 to Mono Pass Peak.

Here are some highlights. Clicking on any of the photos will bring you to my full trip report and gallery (~50 photos).

Possibly my favorite view in the Sierra. Red & White Mtn, Red Slate Mtn in the distance I believe:


Mt. Morgan (?) as I head back to the TH:

Great photos! I especially like the one of Red and White Mountain!
Thank you for sharing! Makes me smile!

Great shot from the summit!

I am about to start at mono pass and hike to bishop. How is the entrance? We are parking one car near mosquito flats and the other at south lake. Is it hard to find a spot close to mosquito flats?

Welcome to HST! If you have a permit, and are getting a late start: http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/inyo/rec ... 0&actid=29

Your "favorite view" photo is fantastic, it almost looks like a painting. Great work!

Thanks everyone!

Finding parking at Mosquito Flats can be tough unless you show up early. If you get there after 10 or so, in my experience, you'll probably have to park in overflow parking unless you catch someone leaving. I've been there 3 times and only parked closeby once.

I've only been to South Lake once. On a Saturday, the lot was filling up quickly by 8:30 AM.
