From the summit of Mt. Baldy, the snowy Sierras can be seen far to the north, as in this picture:

There are two clusters of snowy peaks in the distance. I assume that the peaks on the right are the Whitney/Langley group. But what is that snowy peak on the left (which is actually in the top center of the photo)?

Is this a recent picture? Are the Sierras that covered in snow yet? I imagine that there is snow on peaks but not enough to actually cover them like that. My mate lives in Tahoe and sends pictures to me of the peaks around there, and they don't have any snow on them, higher latitude at around 11,000ft.
I think those could just be clouds over the mountains. But I have no 20/20 vision.
Tahachipe would be a good guess.

too far for tehachapis. plus they are lower elevation, only high altitude stuff would have that much snow.

Don't think it's the Kaweah group?

Saw that.

Looks like it could very well be, having been in your position before wondering what's what out there.

Did you take a bearing on it? That would support/debunk the case for the Kaweahs.
