I will be in Lone Pine that day and am wondering... for those of you who are frequently in the area... (and without having to haul myself to far up the MMWT) where would be the best place to watch the sunrise? Thanks for whatever input you can all provide..

I was thinking something with a little less elevation (although I have every intention of getting that view this fall)...
