Sawtooth from Greasy Creek
February 18, 2008
An interesting aspect of the Great Western Divide looking through Remy Gap that separates the Kaweah River from the Greasy Creek watershed. On the left is Sawtooth Peak (12,343 ft.), Mineral Peak (11,404 ft.) middle and (I defer to Matt Rangel) Rainbow Mountain? (12,034 ft.).
Sawtooth is the backdrop for Mineral King Valley at 7,500 feet, once the short-lived mining town of Beulah. The area was also projected as a ski resort to be developed by Walt Disney in the late 1950s and 60s, but it is now a Wilderness Area as part of Sequoia National Park.
