Pacific Crest Trail

A couple of miles south of Carson Pass, looking southeasterly. The prominent butte in the middle distance is (I kid you not) The Nipple (9342 ft/2847 m). Directly behind it is Markleeville Peak (9415 ft/2870 m), and to the right is (outlined; almost as politically incorrect) Jeff Davis Peak (9065 ft/2763 m). Sierra Nevada, California. The scattered purple-blue flowers are lupine.
