Tehipite Valley / Dome

This is a very remote and desolate place, often referred to as the Yosemite without roads. There are quite a bit of rattlesnakes involved, as the elevation dips pretty low in the valley itself...4200ft. you have to start at the top of the valley, and make a super steep descent, aka 3000ft within 2 miles.

Amazing shot from atop Bloody Mountain

Found this on panaramio, thus it is on most google mapping programs. It is looking down on Edith and Lake Genevieve. You can see Crowley in the far Distance.
