Here is a full 360 degree panorama from just below Alta Peak (elevation 11,200 ft.) That is Vin perched on that jutting outcrop (the actual Alta Peak, complete with log book - a log book I did not sign...) To see this "up close", click on the "O" image size below, and scroll across. There is a larger (half-full size) version at the end of this gallery.

Here is Vin surveying the Sierras from the very tip-top of Alta Peak. I did not actually make it up there - I decided I was close enough when I took this photo (that is, after all, a sheer cliff to the right.)

Our buddy, the marmot.
