Here are some photos from Sunday...


















The North Side Route.



Loads of wet rock on the approach to the Elephant Ear Traverse, so I thrashed me way across to he South Side Trail.



Lots of streaming water on the Ebersbacher Ledges. I figured I could have made it across, but then I would have had to deal with the down-climb, so I called it a hike.



The E-Ledges Traverse. A few days of sunshine should take care of this problem.



The North Fork Drainage.

There were people heading up... with the warming trend forecast, they may have a good time up there.

Is the store officially closed for the season? It would seem fitting that they were sent off with a dusting of snow.

Wow those are some great pictures. The local So Cal mountains got snow too but I don't know how much. It's great to see them white again.

It looks like the weather forecast has things clear and warming back up for the next few days. I wonder how much of that snow in your pictures will melt. Bring on more snow!!!

Agreed, bring on more snow. Start the beginning of a new season.

Like the store photo from across the pond. Very cool.

The End???

Yes, closed for the season...

My hope is that we get a lot of snow this winter in the Sierra.

Although I didn't get a chance to see the proprietors and to munch on some Portal food, thank you Doug, Earlene and crew for another season.

Maybe next year 2015...
