Carson Peak and Dunderberg Peak (CA)

“Dayclimbed Carson Peak, out of the June Lake Loop. Weather changed on us all day long. . . sunny, windy, snow flurries, more sun, more snow flurries, whiteout, then it cleared as we approached the summit. Great views!

The first 2 miles was on steep trail, then the rest was xctry. 7.7 mi r/t, with 3600' el gain/loss

“Didja find any frozen bodies encased in glacier ice?”

“Beautiful!!! Thanks for the pictures.”

“Enjoyed your pics. The snowing pics were neat. How cold was it?”

“Great shots! I am glad I finally got to see Thousand Island Lake! Beautiful pictures of course! Cool to see snow. Thanks!”

“Really neat perspective, looking at Thousand Island Lake from so far above. Looks like it was pretty cold from how warmly you guys were dressed.”

“Thanks!

BM, No . . . but Skibum e-mailed Thurs and said he just returned from Mendel Glacier. He was the guy chipping the body out of the ice (it was on CNN). I had a feeling he was there and e-mailed him. WOW!


Tango, Carson Peak is above Agnew Pass. I think your route was close to there. You would have been going in that direction, then there's a big descent/ascent to get to Thousand Island.

Yes, it was cold out there. I had to put my trekking poles away because my fingers were frozen.”
