The Climb to Kaiser

A pretty rock point. Hmm, is that a road shooting up the side of the mountain? Why yes, its the Tollhouse Grade!

Hazy mountains in the distance distracted me somewhat from the climb up Tollhouse Grade.

It was a pretty difficult climb up Tollhouse, but at least the road surface was perfect!

Lovely Shaver Lake.

A fine Sierra view on the way to the tiny hamlet of Big Creek.

Looking back down towards Big Creek on one of a bazillion mid-to-high-teen gradients. Note the abundant shade.

Huntington Lake sure was a welcome sight after climbing Big Creek!

Huntington Lake Rd. was very pretty (once we got past the horrible climbing that is!).

If this isn't one of the nicer places to have lunch on a bike ride, I don't know what is! Lunch was right here on the shores of Huntington Lake.

Heading towards Kaiser Pass on Huntington Lake Rd. Although it was gently rolling hills, the 25mph speed limit was definitely not in danger!
Climbing lovely, narrow, hot, steep Big Creek.
