Picture of the day
Crystal Mountains
This image features the Crystal Mountains within the Desolation Wilderness in the U.S. state of California with Lake Aloha in the foreground. This range is a subrange of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The southernmost and highest peak seen here on the left is Pyramid Peak, reaching 9,987 ft (3,026 m). The northernmost summit in the range is Tells Peak, however the peak all the way to the right in the image is in the middle of the range and is called Little Pyramid Peak. These mountains are visible from the city of Sacramento on clear days viewed from the other side.Photo credit: Mike Grindstaff
