snowcapped

My overnighter came to a close and I thought of moments during both days when I was by stunned by the beauty that surrounded me — I was even able to see snowcapped San Gorgonio back on the mainland.

But it remains popular with climbers, drawing about 5,000 to 6,000 summit attempts a year due to its easy road accessibility, adventurous terrain and stunning views of snowcapped peaks and rolling forests.

Times photographers captured that scene as well as a snowcapped Mt.

The backdrops are perfect, settings the Succession location scouts would thrill to: a lush Miami dreamscape; a glittering pool of pristine blue in some tony part of L.A.; the snowcapped slopes of Aspen; the uptown skyline from a balcony high atop some enviable Manhattan high-rise; the rocky crags of the Ibiza coastline; a sailboat-strewn harbor on some Greek island that calls to mind Homer, with all the dramatic irony that implies.

Then, a midge-carrying disease crossed over the nearby snowcapped Pyrenees from Spain and infected many of their cattle, causing death and miscarriages.
