Mt Scowden

Today we left a car down in Lundy Canyon (we were able to drive all the way to the trailhead) and then drove up to Saddlebag Lake Rd. near Tioga Pass. We climbed up toward Tioga Peak from the snow covered road, then contoured along the Tioga Crest towards Mt. Scowden. We gained the ridge a bit sooner then we needed too and ended up going up and down a bit as we contoured, but it was beautiful terrain. It was a bit late in the day by the time we reached our goal, but the NW aspect and a breeze that blew most of the day kept the snow really nice.
