The Far Side with Lake Julian below. Click on photo for a closer view of this
trailless valley just below Mt. Ida and Chief Cheley Peak (the snowy mass to the left).
The saddle is less than 4 hours from the trailhead. From the saddle one curves up
to the south (right) and soon reaches a broad ridge that is almost a curved plateau.
It is shown on topo maps as a broad expanse of tundra encircled by an 11,800' contour.
