Something a little more recent: this is the view from Franklin Pass as one comes over the Great Western Divide into the interior where there are no roads. That is the popular direction for hitting this spot, but we were finishing our hike. Stretched out below was a bit of the last two days. To the left of the central ridge, we could see the wall of Big Arroyo which we had climbed out from the day before. Coming up Soda Creek on the left, we eventually climbed the central ridge and dropped slightly down to Forester Lake in the center. On this day, we had lost a little more elevation before starting the climb up the pass. The far mountains contain hints of places we were the year before.
