Very close to Rollins Pass, taking the High Lonesome Trail you can reach this point from where you'll have incredible alpine views over King Lake. Definitely a great spot for photos!

Hiking

As you wrap around King Lake, there is an amazing view of the alpine lake down in the bowl. It's recommended to do this trail counter-clockwise if you start before the sunrise as it's more technical towards the end (when the sun would be up).
