Big Five / Little Five Lakes Loop

The upper bowl and headwall of Lost Canyon. This is actually looking towards Amphitheater Lake, just beyond that ridge.

Big 5, Little 5 Lakes Loop and Sawtooth Pass, August 4th to 7th, 2000.

It was not long before I was packed up and headed across the meadow to meet the sandy trail. With such easy walking, I was able to admire the high walls, crags and spires of the relatively level head of the canyon. As I got closer to the switchbacks, Sawtooth Peak began to hide behind the near walls. I really admire this canyon and its beauty. It ranks right up there with the head of Deadman Canyon, and a few other canyons in the Sierra.
