Nice pics. Is that Dawson Saddle to South Hawkins?

No peak bagging this trip, Rico?

The serpentine ridge in shot #6 looks inviting.

Spot on Sean (although I stopped short of South Hawkins).

Grabbed Hawkins and Middle Hawkins while in the area. The vistas from Middle Hawkins are quite nice. #6 is the ridgeline going south from the PCT to South Hawkins.

Copter Ridge looked inviting. Anybody got the skinny on a trek down the ridgeline? Didn't see a use trail from Hawkins so it must be all x-country, eh?

Great photos UR! Such a[nother] beautiful area of the SGMs...

Your photos of this area spurred on this one, an interesting side trip to this 'smokey' TR from Dan's Hiking page:

Can never get enough photos of these biggies... pine needles, rocks and pine trees sure make a sweet scene...

Cool shots Uncle Rio:
