Wow. That's a heck of a cover shot. I'll read the TR when I get a chance.

Why do you think they call it "Picture Peak"?

speaking of which,

“Dingleberry Lake” – srsly?

I thought dingleberries happen when I run out of TP

Now that I finally made time to read your entertaining and informative Trip Report, I want to comment on some highlights:

This receding shoreline shows what a dry year 2013 has been.

Great shot of Paiute Crags

Stock trails vs. hiker trails:
- stock has deeper stream crossings, dung, mule trenches and more biting insects.
- Hiker may be longer, but is generally easier and more scenic


Using lupines really emphasized the eerie color of Moonlight Lake. Anybody know which elements do that?

I like the breakaway in the tarn as the day heated up

That ridge between Haeckel & Darwin looked like pure scree [shudders].

“Picture”-esque indeed!
