The "official" maintained park trail ends at the first lake, but a good use trail continued on up to the highest of the lakes.

The second of the three Young Lakes.

Looking back to Ragged Peak and the pass from the second Young Lake.

Now up at the third and final Young Lake, again looking back towards Ragged Peak. There was a party on the lakeshore- the first people I had seen all day. The use trail dissapated here and I headed cross country towards white.

I had oiginally planned on heading up to the Conness/White saddle, but I had underestimated the depth of the valley that I needed to cross to get there. I decided instead to scale the ridge to the above the lakes and attack White from the south.

A small unnamed lake on the high plateau above the Young Lakes. The Conness/White saddle (and the small marshy canyon before it) are on the far side of the valley

A closer look at the lake as the clouds roll back in over Peak 11806 on the far side.

Heading up from the small lake, I followed the granite slabs up to the low point on the spine of the ridge. The high point on the left is not White. (White is a bit further down the ridge)

Looking back down at the high plateau from most of the way up to the ridgetop.
