CG: I think the view is toward the back (south) side of the Kaweahs, in the direction of the Big Arroyo (I don't have my map with me; did I get that right?). I took a bunch of photos during the same trip from the same vantage point, and that is what we thought we were looking at. A more open shot, without the Mt. Chamberlain ridge in the foreground, would show the main Kaweah ridge on the right, with the Big Arroyo visible to the left. If my memory serves me, this spot is roughly 8 miles (as the crow flies) SE of where the Colby Pass trail intersects the Kern River.

Re: "Infinity Pool" Views
CG, I stand corrected. I went back and looked at my maps and I think that is Picket Guard Peak at the right of Van's picture.
Below is a more open view, showing (I think) Picket Guard in the middle of the frame. Kern Peak is slightly to the right, with the jagged peaks in the vicinity of Milestone/Midway/Table to the far right.

Re: "Infinity Pool" Views
Mike,
Yep, that computes now. I think you may have given me inspiration for an early season trip for next year. I spent way too little time in that basin on my only previous visit, and those long views of the Kaweahs and nearby peaks are grand.
Thanks,

Re: "Infinity Pool" Views
Yes, that is Picket Guard and Milestone to the north. The Kaweahs were blocked by the ridge in the foreground. Van

Great shot OR, too bad the fish rings are not just a little more to the left.

Re: "Infinity Pool" Views
Here's my favorite "infinity pool", Crozet lake.
Since you might be curious where this lake might be, here's another shot in daylight. Le lac du Crozet, one of the most popular lake here around Grenoble, in the French Alps, with a great view of the wonderful Chartreuse range across the lake.
