Clouds Rest. Nice
view of Clouds Rest above Tenaya Canyon on the drive
up Highway 120. The skies were so clear driving
up that you could actually see the snowy peaks of the
Sierra from near Tracy. |

 |
Tenaya Lake & Mount Conness.
I'll never tire of this view of the sheer west face of
Mount Conness, just visible through the domes of the
Tenaya Lake area. |
|
 |
Mount Dana. The boring west side of Mount
Dana, rising above Dana Meadows. |
|
|
Mammoth Peak.
Seen from near the Mono Pass trailhead, this mountain
forms the northern end of the Kuna Crest. |
|
|
Getting Warm.
Skiing up to a basecamp this late in the day makes for
some interesting stream crossings and routefinding.
After falling into the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne, I
also collapsed a bunch of small snow bridges skiing up
the Parker Pass drainage. |
|
|
Parker Pass Creek.
Nice view up Parker Pass Creek to the head of the Kuna
Crest. |
|
 |
The Big Kuna.
My first view of the Kuna Peak area (the actual peak
is hidden behind the high point in this photo).
Our base camp was located at the bottom of the snowy
slope at lower right of photo. The Helen Lake
chute drops down from the ridgeline right in the
middle of the photo. |
 |
Moonrise. Skiing in
to camp, I had a beautiful sunset on my right, and a
stunning moonrise on my left. |
