The old cattlemen’s cabin at Big Maxon Meadow still stands.  It isn’t used for much of anything anymore although the USFS trail crew occasionally stores tools in it.

Big Maxon Meadow has grown in with trees significantly over the years.  Perhaps a forest fire will open the meadow up again to its former splendor.

Little John Mountain looking down over Pearl Lake with pink clouds reflected in the still water. Purples and blacks turn to pinks and yellows before becoming blue.
