Onion Valley, Kearsarge Pass and beyond Nov. 17-19, 2007
A long drive from San Diego forced me to alter my plans somewhat. Backpacked up to Flower Lake Saturday, day hiked over Kearsarge Pass to just east of Bullfrog Lake on Sunday, hiked out on Monday. The weather was perfect for this time of year!

Beautiful area with snow! Thanks!

Whew! I'll bet it was chilly. I didn't realize the last snow stuck that well. And the lakes are freezing up. Cool. Great shots. Thanks.

Thanks, everyone. I don't know if everyone saw the captions; they're below the pics wlhen you open the thumbnails, but are not readily viewable unless you scroll down. I'm still not sure how to get them to pop up when you put the cursor on the thumbnail.
Snowy, I've been up to Kearsarge a number of times, but it sure looks beautiful with the snow up there!
Tomcat, I'm glad I got up there at least once before another snow; this weekend will be much colder.
Rosabella, I always like cresting a pass; the way the views unfold is always so dramatic!
Ridgeline, the air was perfect; just the right temp to make it an extremely comfortable hike, and the views were great-no haze!
SM, believe it or not, for most of the dayhike up and over the pass, I had on just a Marmot Driclime Windshirt over a Patagonia T; of course once the sun dipped out of site, the layers came out!
