In the distance you can see Susie Lake with the edge of Aloha and Lake of the Woods on the far left. Unlike prior hikes to the top of Ralston Peak, I was surprised at how little wind there was at the top.

The summit gives you a beautiful view of Lake Tahoe and Falling Leaf Lake just to this side of it. The lake to the left and nearly out of frame is, Tamarack Lake.

Andra caught me setting up to photograph Lake Tahoe. Just a few feet in front of me is a 1000ft drop.
