Panorama of Kearsarge Pass, Kings Canyon, California

Comments: We took awhile to get here since our packs were fully loaded for a 4 day trip to Mt. Whitney from Onion Valley. Unfortunately there was some smokey haze onthe western horizon due to a wildfire in the Sequoia NP. When we first got to the pass, a through hiker with a bayonet strapped to his chest pulled in from the west. We talked to him for awhile, then enjoyed the awesome scenery.
Viewing Options:
 
FullScreen VRs provide greater immersion in the scene. Instead of appearing inside a browser window, the VR is opened using the QuickTime Player. The panorama is then displayed the full width of your monitor, and all other windows are blacked out (temporarily). It's hard to describe how incredible the impact is, especially on a larger monitor. You still use your mouse to navigate around. When you are done looking at the scene, press the "esc" (or Escape) key and your normal desktop will return. (Click for more info on FullScreen mode)
