Lone Pine Peak at Sunrise
Eastern Sierra Nevada, California   –   September 1, 2015

The dramatic eastern face of the Sierra Nevada rapidly rises to over 14,000 feet, about two miles above the floor of Owens Valley. Nearby Lone Pine Peak is just under 13,000 but looks like one of the highest, a trick of perspective.
