High Sierra glories

Eastern part of Yosemite National Park. Mt. Lyell, just left of center, is the highest point in the park at 13,114'. The Lyell Glacier, with dappled shadows, is no longer active and is considered a permanent ice field. Mt MacClure to its right, Rodgers Peak the sharp peak on the left, Helen Lake just below center. Taken from "Granite Divide", a granite peak located on the eastern park boundary, between the metamorphic Mts. Dana and Gibbs. Mono Pass is below and out of sight in the deep cleft on the left. The divide between the reddish metamorphic rock and the granite beyond is about at the far shore of Helen Lake.
