Initial view to the NW over the Bighorm Plateau to the Kings-Kern Divide and northern Great Western Divide (the other side is visible from Alta Peak. Moving to the left (over the ugly black box) is the Great Western Divide, and eventually past the southern end you can make out the trench of the Kern Canyon. Farther left (now south) is the distinctive helmet shaped peak of Mt. Langley (southernmost 14000'/4000m peak in the Sierra and indeed the continental U.S.) Farther left is the Owens lakebed with Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range visible as a silhouette (this area viewable in another panorama from the Darwin Plateau). Farther left, to the east, are the Alabama Hills with Lone Pine Creek crossing them and the Inyo Mountains in the skyline. Farther left Mt. Williamson is the highest peak in the view north along the crest. Photos were taken August 21, 1982.
Panorama redone August 2008 with PTGui, which dealt with this very difficult panorama (which has a huge parallax gap to the north, variable exposures, and different photo orientations). Compare with older panorama hacked using QTVR Studio.
