The biting chill of an August morning in Mammoth Lakes made the predawn wait a challenge, but the jagged Minarets demanded nothing less. Enduring the freezing mountain air with the R6M3 locked on the ridge, the anticipation peaked as the sky began to lighten. When the first rays finally struck the high granite, painting the craggy peaks in brilliant alpine gold, the cold was instantly forgotten. That stunning morning glow is perfectly captured in “Sunrise Over Minarets, Mammoth Lakes.”
