The Sheep Creek Valley viewed from Sheep Creek Camp that overlooks the valley. Casket Mountain is on the far side of the valley.
Approaching Surprise Pass from the south. Almost at the pass, peaks on the other side to the north, begin to appear. Pass is just behind near ridge (running center to right). It can get rather blustery up here in these high meadows and on the scree.
