Scene notes:
Medium and lower-level clouds, as well as a small ‘scudding’ layer that is halfway up the mountain’s slopes, transform all along this multicolored mountain and arid landscape of yellows, reds, and whites of snow pack on eroded cliff faces and meltwater channels (center of frame at beginning of clip).

The partial rainbow of the desert vanishes into thin air, rain moving out of the creation zone. Distant desert foothills have cloud shadows cast on them throughout.

View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Panning digitally upwards, while the mountains display four levels of cloud cover, with two on its peaks or flank. Altocumulus appears to follow the low clouds caught on the peaks, with the same amount of evaporation once over. The fourth layer is the high-altitude Cirrostratus, a layer of thicker Cirrus, not affected by the lower mountains.

Under Mount Whitney and others, clouds pass by in the sky, transforming and casting shadows on peaks
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Sharp peaks up close: young granite spires and glacial erosive features are featured in the lower ragged third of the frame, while low clouds transform just overhead left-right. On the sheer stone cliff faces, shadows are clearly moving past. Drops of solid rocks give way to trees where the less steep terrain allows any growth.
