The Palisades seen from Brainerd Lake Trail, in John Muir Wilderness Inyo National Forest, California, USA.

Brainerd Lake Trail affords striking views of the Palisades, along Big Pine Creek South Fork, in John Muir Wilderness within Inyo National Forest, west of Big Pine, in California, USA. From left to right are Middle Palisade Peak and Glacier, Norman Clyde Peak, Firebird Peak (aka "Peak 3862" in the foreground), Palisade Crest, and Mount Sill (14,153 ft). The Palisades group runs for 6 miles along the Sierra Crest, dividing the Central Valley watershed from the Owens Valley, on the boundary between John Muir Wilderness and Kings Canyon National Park. From the day hikers parking lot, we walked 9.2 miles round trip with 2800 feet gain to Brainerd (or Brainard) Lake (which would be 1.5 miles further round trip from the overnight hikers lot). Multiple overlapping photos were stitched to make this panorama.
