This unremarkable view to the southeast is really remarkable because the
west wind was blowing a steady 30 knots. As the air hit the mountain and
uplifted, clouds kept forming in the same area. The clouds quickly blew across
the mountain and dissipated as they moved over the desert.
West to Caples Lake.
To the north is Desolation Wilderness with Lake Tahoe on the right.
