Eastern Sierra - Part 4

Sawtooth peaks above Lake Sabrina

I completed the road trip driving Hwy 395 from Bishop to Monitor Pass Road. The high peaks ranging from 8,000 to 14,000' were breathtaking, especially this time with the mountains covered with a blanket of white.

Mo, the lion dog. The owner groomed his dog with lion mane. He's got too much time on his hands.

Funny looking but interesting . . . kinda' does look like a lion from the back

No haircut for me!

Cool dog . . . looking good with red bandana
