Elephants Back comes into view. This is as close as we will get. - Frank Farmer's Photos

Snowshoe trek to the saddle below Round Top Peak, near Carson Pass. A sunny day on the snow, with Bonnie and Dave. Recent storms added to the nearly-gone snowpack, so we decided to check it out. Bonnie and I devised this trip a few days previously, and Dave was a welcome last-minute addition to our crew. It was a great day to be alive in the outdoors. Be sure to check out Bonnie's Photos.

Frank Farmer > Ski trail marker. I think this is a spur trail between the PCT and Woods Lake.

Frank Farmer > Ladybug on Bonnie's hand. There were ladybugs all over the place. We tried to avoid crushing them, as we hiked.
