Sage Creek valley with snowy peaks beyond are seen looking south on the GDT close to Mount Matkin and Font Mountain.
Mount Matkin, seen looking east-northeast in the high meadows with their glacier lilies, just south of the Great Divide.
The trail runs on a high ridge of the Great Divide here, with a slow melting cornice to the right, cracked, could fall down the cliff. In the distance are Font Mountain (right center) and Mount Matkin (right). Seen looking west-northwest.
Endangered whitebark pine high on a Great Divide ridge near Sage Pass. Needles in clusters of five identify this conifer as a whitebark pine. Other conifers are also found here growing in this place of harsh conditions.
Looking south from the summit of Peak #4 (La Coulotte Ridge, next peak west of La Coulotte Peak): Deep valleys and rugged, snowy peaks stretch into the distance forever.
On Peak #4 summit looking southwest: Peak #5 is the nearby brown faced peak behind red summit of Peak #4 with ridge connecting the two peaks winding to lower left. The saddle at far right is where the trail attains the ridge and follows it to Peak #5.
Looking east-southeast from the summit of Peak #4: La Coulotte Peak (Peak #3 left) is connect to Peak #4 by the ridge running down the left, and connected to Peak #2 (center) and the Peak #1 (slightly right of center) by high ridges of the Great Divide.
