Twin Peaks seen from Pope Beach, near South Lake Tahoe. You can just make out the two peaks, peeking over the skyline in the middle. I took this shot three days before today's hike.

Jean and I returned to the Barker Pass Trailhead, where I hiked with Karen about a month previously. This time we were determined to reach the summit of Twin Peak. To see more photos from this beautiful area, please see Barker Pass-Twin Peaks Recon 2007.

Frank Farmer > I resolved not to take all the same landscape and vista shots that I took on the hike with Karen. However, the flowers were hard to resist. Conditions were drier than on the previous visit and the flower displays seemed different.

Frank Farmer > Waxy Sidalcea or Checkerbloom?
