The Gorge of Despair isn't too far off of the Middle Fork Trail, but is worth the work!

Awesome granite formations across the Middle Fork Trail, on the way to Tehipite.

Climbing Kettle Ridge, you'll have awesome views looking toward Monarch Divide. In late summer, this climb is dry, hot, and has no water. It's a mediocre hike until you get beyond this point.
The Gorge of Despair is a short jaunt off the Middle Fork Trail, but the views are worth the trip.
Looking at the dome
Tehipite Dome looms above the Middle Fork Trail.
Enjoy the view looking northwest toward Finger Peak from Lake 10401.This is the best of the Blue Canyon lakes in my opinion.
