Yosemite's Echo Peaks

This amazing cluster of peaks rises over Budd Lake, just south of Tuolumne Meadows. The distinctive formation can be seen from as far away as Glacier Point. Of the nine distinct peaks only one requires class 5 technical climbing.

This model was made using a LIDAR dataset collected to study nitrogen export and made available on http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/.
