The Frozen Lake


The alpine story begins here.. Many of the high lakes in the Sierra Nevadas remain frozen over until mid to late summer, depending on how heavy the snowfall was the previous winter. Frigid looking scenes like this unfold before the traveler on warm afternoons when the order of the day is a sweat soaked t-shirt and short pants. Snow melt from the high elevations feed streams and creeks all through the summer and provide sight and sounds wherever you travel, as well as an occaisional difficult water crossing through stiff currents and over slippery rocks.
