Big Baldy outcropping in Sequoia National Park. The prominent mountain formation en route to the summit of Big Baldy. Where the tree-line and its alpine features are at a relatively uniform elevation. With granite formations that do not support as much vegetation while having significant reach or stature. Very little ground cover with talus and scree spread out here and there.
