From our base camp at Paradise Lake (elev. 6126'), a good 4 miles in the distance is Kings Castle (elev. 7334'), a marble rock outcropping.

There it lay....... From mile 2 to mile 3 was spring fed marshy land, which was rather difficult to get through.
About half way up. The white "slab" there is about an 8' diameter of marble, none other around but there. It was an interesting finnd.
We took a break before the assent. We found it easier to go around, clockwise, to get to the top.
With the peak behind me, that is the view from Kings Castle, looking towards the Marble Mountain Wilderness (peaks at 6000'+ and 4.5 mi away).
See ya on the trail........
