This was the second of the two “drive-up” summits I had planned for my trip back from the White Mountains. How could I resist the chance to drive through Monitor Pass—perhaps one of the most scenic mountain passes in the United States? How could I resist activating a summit with a name like Leviathan Peak? The weather sure didn’t plan on stopping me! What a beautiful day.
