Classic conditions above treeline in the Cascades this time of year.

Whitehorse Mountain

the south of the South Island, NZ

PCT & Sonora Pass and Julie way Above Treeline!

Polemonium eximium– "Sky Pilot". ~11,000', somewhere above Lake South America.

One sniff of this fragrant flower is a proven antidote to politics, shooting scandals, McHale pack dramas, and gun debates.

Columbine Lake, Mineral King

Beautiful Craig.
Very useful too, but does it help against repeated head banging against a wall?

Barrier Reef

PCT & Sonora Pass

A few from Graubunden, Switzerland on a climb of Piz Medel

Sunrise hits Val Medel

Looking towards the Oberalpstock

Glacier da Medel

Val Plattas

I almost forgot about this thread and now I actually have some contributions :)
Bondcliff trail

Bondcliff summit-ish

Airline trail (different trip)

View looking out at Mt. Whitney from Langley

View from Trail Camp

On the switchbacks up to Whitney from Guitar Lake

Parker Pass, Yosemite

I really like Mountains!

Is that the Mammoth Mtn ski area in the mid distance of your last picture? Just trying to orient myself.

Yes that is it.

Craig, we saw one of those near Kearsage Pass. My friend is a plant geek – he was very excited.

All in Mineral King

The last photo looks like Columbine Lake.

Diller Canyon, Mt Shasta.

I should visit this thread more often. Such beauty!
Thanks for posting your pictures here.

Jay,
looks like the places I was planning to hike into next week.
Did you go over Snow Tongue Pass? How was it? This year?

thanks,

Bill D.
