Mark near the base of a snowfield. This was one of our first views as we paddled out onto the lake. Yes, the water was cold, but we stayed warm and mostly dry.
After we left the Mono Lake area, we decided to go to Saddlebag Lake, just East of Yosemite. Unfortunately, the road was snowed in a mile or so before the lake. We turned around and decided to go to Ellery Lake instead. Ellery Lake is just East of Tioga Pass at an elevation of about 9500 ft.

Winny paddles by, so Mark takes the same picture with her in it.
