our morning view from the campsite: an unnamed mountain, called "Peak 9900" for its altitude (part of the spur off the Great Western Divide) from our campsite at the juncture of the High Sierra Trail and Mehrten Creek and, to the right, in the distance, are parts of Eagle Crest, above two lakes (Mosquito and Mineral) |
