| The first 2.5 miles is a gradual but continuous climb on a wide trail. |
| As the sun was rising at the same time, we had differently lighted views of the Sierra Nevada across Owens Valley as we hiked. (Click photos for a larger view) |
| It was really difficult to not be impressed with the beauty of the scenery |
| There was plenty of snow, my dog walked at least 8 miles in the first 2 miles of the trail. |
| The trail leads up past Bancroft Research facility. |
| We reach our first false peak at the Observatory. (Last night's sky made it obvious why that is here) |
| From here, we can see some more of the trail, including a sight of the real peak, and the disappointing news that we are going to descend again first. My light-headiness and threatening headache continued to annoy me. |
