Just after starting along the PCT toward Gold Mountain. Baldwin Lake seen in the distance.

Along the PCT.

Slowly ascending switchbacks along the slope.

Along the PCT, switchbacking up the slope.

Passing over a small boulder field.

A final shot back toward Baldwin Lake as the PCT tops out of the slope and continues west.

I left the PCT to head up Gold Mountain road.

I followed the road up to nearly the summit.

View back along the road.

The road leads along the flat summit area to the high point.

A quick off-trail hike to the summit.
