Oh My!!! Those are absolutely amazing...I LOVE them all. I looked at my map to see where you were at...it looks nice and remote. What a gorgeous part of the Sierra.

How does one choose where to go..this area is a for sure place! :nod:
Cloud Canyon is gorgeous! So nice to see it so green and lush!
Thank you for posting them!

Thanks Maverick. That gives me a lot to think about. Finally, how bad is Pyra-Queen pass? I ask that with the possibility of heading in from Crescent Meadow.

The easiest pass into Kaweah Basin, the pass is the small chute you see
in the middle of the saddle from left to right above the patch of snow.
The other side is long and rocky but great scenery especially at
sunrise.

Thanks madeintahoe and trailtrekker! I'm still in a different world right now after being in "the real world" for a work week.
