The Minarets

The Minarets are one of the most striking mountain features in all of the Sierra Nevada. That summer morning, clouds created a band of direct light on the Minarets as it reflected off the calm waters of Ediza Lake. This large collection of pinnacles rises sharply from its surroundings, creating an incredibly serrated skyline in the heart of the Ansel Adams Wilderness. One of the best views of the Minarets is from Ediza Lake.
