Delicious clarity. I appreciate the note:

Note: I recommend Bloody-Laurel Saddle purely as a winter campsite when there is a lot of snow. This is due to two reasons: First, the terrain is composed of sharp bits of scree which would uncomfortable to sleep on. Second, the area is well away from any reliable water source when there is no snow to melt.


Bloody Mt. indeed

The location is awesome, both for photography and winter hiking. Convict Lake Rd is one of the few Sierra roads that gets plowed in the winter.

Apparently Hollywood also likes this area for its visual purposes. Recognize any of these?
