The Final Act
The sunset show on July 15 coming to an end with a last throw of light against the high clouds. Peaks deep in Yosemite to the Northwest are throwing long shadows across the clouds right of center.
This was the scene at our campsite below Silver Pass, surrounded by snow and frozen lakes. However, no wind and 50F degrees made it a pleasant evening and the view justified all efforts to get there. Those are the days you don't forget.
The view goes from Goodale Pass (left) to the Ritter Range (just right of the brightest part of the horizon) and ends with the eastern Yosemite peaks around Donohue Pass and Koip and Kuna peaks. The valley on the right side is Cascade Valley. The John Muir Trail comes up from the valley and crosses Silver Pass just behind the location this was taken from.
Ansel Adams Wilderness, Sierra Nevada, CA. About 15 miles SW of Mammoth Lakes. CA.
