There are two clusters of snowy peaks in the distance. I assume that the peaks on the right are the Whitney/Langley group. But what is that snowy peak on the left (which is actually in the top center of the photo)?
What peak is this?
From the summit of Mt. Baldy, the snowy Sierras can be seen far to the north, as in this picture:

Is this a recent picture? Are the Sierras that covered in snow yet? I imagine that there is snow on peaks but not enough to actually cover them like that. My mate lives in Tahoe and sends pictures to me of the peaks around there, and they don't have any snow on them, higher latitude at around 11,000ft.
I think those could just be clouds over the mountains. But I have no 20/20 vision.
Tahachipe would be a good guess.

The photo was taken about three weeks ago, but I saw the same view again this past Sunday.moppychris wrote:Is this a recent picture? Are the Sierras that covered in snow yet?
Yes. Someone at summitpost made a compelling case that it's the Kaweah group.TacoDelRio wrote:Don't think it's the Kaweah group?
