Though taken nine miles apart, these two pictures are connected. It took me months to see it, but the location where I took the first is visible in the second and vice versa. It took both on the second day of my Sierra Nevadas trip last September. I wanted to take a long day hike in Lassen Volcanic National Park, ideally to the highest peak in the park, Lassen Peak; however that trail was closed so I opted for the second choice Brokeoff Mountain.
On my way to the park early Saturday morning, I pulled off to the side of the highway to take the first picture. I thought the mountain might be Brokeoff, but that hunch wasn't a big consideration in taking the picture. Primarily, I just wanted a great shot to remind me of the scenic ride. Three and a half hours later I was at the top of that mountain taking pictures of the magnificent views left and right.
Recently while going through my pictures, I verified that that mountain is brokeoff. I also noticed that in the middle right can you make the out highway where I take the first picture that day.
