Sonora Pass.

Along the PCT, making my way up to the far top right of this photo.

Beautiful grasses below.

View along the PCT as it makes a large arc.

Approaching the base of Margaret Lewis Peak. The PCT wraps beneath it.

View back.

On a switchback to gain the ridgeline.

Sonora Peak and Stanislaus Peak to the north.

Along the ridgeline, entering the Emigrant Wilderness. Leavitt Peak seen center.

View down into Deadman Canyon to the west.

Approaching the point where the PCT drops left.

PCT descends a bit into a little rocky basin, then ascends to the saddle seen right of center.

Great views within the little rocky basin.

View back, Peak 11245 seen on the right.

A short ascent to another saddle, with a view toward Latopie Lake.

The PCT wraps to the right beneath rock outcroppings.

View back. The PCT came from the saddle right of center.

Along the PCT still, still above Latopie Lake.

A clear turn-off point to reach Leavitt Peak. It's only hard to follow for a short time.

Easy hiking along a trail that skirts around a rocky basin.

Along the east ridge of Leavitt Peak.

View back down the east ridge.
