180 degree panorama looking east from the summit. (The west was too backlit)

Looking down at Raymond Lake, the PCT plateau, and Pleasant Valley from the summit. Freel the horizen highpoint.

The Sunset Lakes and Wet Meadow region to the west- only 2 direct miles away. I thought about trying to take the class 2-3 west slope back down, but opted to stick with the trail given the late hour.

Heading back around the western side below the summit block.

Back to the Raymond Lake. The slope was just as much of a slog down as it had been up as the soil was too hard to heel step down.

One last look across the blueish waters of Raymond Lake. Unlike many Sierra Lakes, this one did not have a dam at the outlet.

Looking back up at the peak from near the PCT junction.

I skipped one of the switchbacks on the return trip as the terrain through the pine forest wasn't particularly steep and was completely devoid of ground vegetation.

Back to the initial overlook with the last view of the west side of Raymond
