High Sierra Topix

After postponing then canceling the trip because of weather and work, we ended up being able to get out from Friday to Sunday. I had never hiked out of North Lake, and we had a great lazy and relaxing trip.
We went North Lake - Piute Pass - Desolation Lake - Forsaken Lake - Four Gables - Tomahawk Lake - back

Desolation Lake really lives up to its name and I'm completely infatuated with Mt. Humphreys- it's so imposing and beautiful. Thanks copeg for the Four Gables suggestion- a very fun and easy peak with some great views. Here are a few photos from the trip, the rest are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/travistetz ... 001423084/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for the TR and the photo's, I like the shot from above Desolation Lake looking
back at the peaks.

Beautiful photos. Looks like a great trip! Glad you like the Four Gables hike.

thanks for the nice photos. I've only been to Humphreys Basin and Four Gables on skis, and I've wondered whether Four Gables would be a nice summer walk or a nasty talus hop. glad to see it is the former.
