Greeting party at the trailhead

Jared breaks out the camera

First view of Monarch lake

Jared checking out the lake

Doesn't get much better than this

Just starting up the pass

Looking up the pass and the sandy slog ahead

Slightly different view up

A look back to the lake from about 1/3 up the pass

Jared taking pics of the views

Yours truly

About half way up

Looking over at the ridge to the north-east

Jared on top of Sawtooth Pass

Shawn on Sawtooth Pass

Looking over to the south and Guitar Lake

Sawtooth Peak

Jared ponders the view

On Top!

Ah, the final destination - a burger at the lodge in Mineral King
