Went about 10 miles to Phipps Pass from Meeks Bay trailhead. This is a sweet trail. Very lush and green, and amazing lakes. This trail would be much more popular if you didn't have to go the first mile or two on a fire-road to reach the actual trail.







West side of Rubicon Peak on left, Bliss Peak in center. Stoney Ridge Lake below. Sweet camp spots here along the trail that get early sun.






Rubicon Lake





Mt. Tallac in center. Tahoe barely visable to left.



Heading up to Phipps Pass



Dick's Peak









Phipps Peak across Crag Lake. This spot is only a few miles into the trail with very little uphill.
