OK. I am guessing Tilden Lake and Keyes Peak/Saurian Crest...

Well, in this case, we've been there and done that.
How about this one:
There will be hints if they're needed....

Winna, winna, chicken dinna!
Saurian to the left, Tower Peak to the right and Tilden Lake it is, the two pics were taken two years apart. Tilden isn't
too far off the PCT but the most interesting approach is XC across Tower Pass to the north. Mary Lake pictured below lies in a cirque below the pass, high above Tilden.
Based on the pic you would think it would be a quick trip around the lake, and you would be wrong. Trying the east shore if I ever go back.
You're up!

Daisy got it without any need for a hint--and that means it's her turn to post a photo!

Lovely. And a nice invitation to not only explore that area of the mountains, but also explore that area of the internet!

I found it, but I'm not going to reveal it because W_D's trip reports are so awesome! You have to read them!

Nice! I agree you, OM. But we'll give this a couple of days for someone else to enjoy the TR...and name that spot.

Hmmmm. Seems like nobody else wants to play. So I am going to bump this up a bit and guess that it's Kagavah Lake.... And I wish I could accompany Daisy on some of her hikes in the Wind Rivers...

You're spot on, Bobito, unless you think it is Pyramid Peak (in the Crystal Range, by Lake Tahoe.) Do you want to put a name on this beast and post the next photo?
