Thursday, we decided to visit Kaiser Peak and Mono Hot Springs. Elsa remembered that it took quite a while to reach the hot springs and that the dirt road to the peak was deeply rutted, but not how twisted and narrow the road became. We had quite a trip for a short sixteen-mile jaunt! With my careful driving, we took two hours to arrive at the hot springs!
The above pictures are from Kaiser Peak. At the pass the elevation given was 9,182 feet! The top picture is of the pink flowers which thrive in the granite grannies. The second picture is of two large pieces of granite that perch as if they are going to topple at any moment. Elsa wanted a picture of me pushing on them, but I chose not to continue out to the edge! Chicken!
The third picture is the view from the top. In the distance is Edison Reservoir. It is part of the Eastman series of lakes.
We had a great day, however! The views were spectacular!
