Topo and route for today's 13mi, 3500ft gain outing from the Lyons Creek trailhead. I was last on this trail earlier in the month enroute to Pyramid.

Mt Price was my 47th OGUL peak (and the last one one within sight of the lake from that list)

9:30am start from the Lyons Creek trailhead off of Wrights Lake road/Hwy 50. There was a ranger at the lot handing out reflective tape due to it being the opening weekend of deer season.

The first 3-4 miles were a flat dry and mostly uninteresting parallel of Lyons Creek. (The creek was almost completely dry)

Entrance to the Desolation Wilderness a few miles into the trail.

Pyramid was intermittently visible in the distance with the first good look in this rocky clearing.

The Lyons Creek crossing with a few stagnant pools of water remaining.

Junction with the trails to Lake Sylvia (right) and Lyons (left).

I was a bit surprised with how steep and indeterminate the initial trail up to Lyons Lake was. I lost it near the top and just scrambled the remainder of the distance to the lake.

The Lyons Creek trail quickly rose above the valley tree cover granting a view of Pyramid beyond. Lake Sylvia is beyond the trees at the base of the talus slope.
