spotted peak A name I gave it.
when hiking without a clearly marked trail, you look for rocks stacked called Cairns. These are some of the largest Cairns I've ever seen.

This is my Campsite. Dollar Lake through the trees. Soft forest ground to lay on. I use a REI 4-seasons 2P Cirque tent. This is the only 4-season tent I've ever owned (4yrs), it works. For Himalayan trips, upgrade to a mountaineering tent.

Ice trail That is the Kings Peak hiking trail, with an ice river running down it. What my step, don't slip. I took just 1 of my hiking poles, and was so glad to have a 3rd point of contact for stability. Especially this slippery section of the trail.
zoomed, 1hr after I told her to "stay" she is still waiting in the same place, so loyal. The Rottweiler made it up most of Kings peak, route finding was key to getting her up this far. Backcountry skiing has given a lot of experience route finding. . those boulders are HUGE.
Painters Basin Trail
think she sees it?
