At The Notch on a lovely summer day :>). Bet the views are awesome on a clear day. The Notch, the high point of Skyline Trail, is a challenge to reach with its steep rocky south side, snow to mid-summer, wind, cold, and other weather.

Curator Lake. Seen looking southeast from Skyline Trail on the south side of The Notch.
A sunlit creek valley (left) is where Curator trail camp is found. Curator Lake (center right) in the distance is where Skyline Trail is headed as it heads north on the barren, alpine north side of Big Shovel Pass.
The hospitable locals, such as this hoary marmot, help guide the way on the way down, north of The Notch on Skyline Trail.
Mount Tekarra (left) and the Colin Range in the distance (right), looking north from Skyline Trail.
Wabasso Lake, looking north from Wabasso Lake Trail on the south shore of the lake.
Almost at Big Shovel Pass, Curator Mountain's summit pokes up on the left (west), when approaching the pass from the south.
