Mono pass is a 12,000 foot pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains reached out of the Little lakes valley south of Tom's Place.
Walking through little lakes valley you pass lake after lake. This was in September when summer and the flower display is usually over, but due to the tremendous snow fall this past winter, spring had just arrived.

Near the pass the clouds developed
At the pass there was still a snow field. It will not melt this year before the first snowfall.
