What Happened Here?
On the west shore of Scotts Lake there were these tree stumps. Only a few of the trees are cut but the rest of them look as if they were broken off. The lines on the trunks are watermarks from the lake. What happened here?!?
Stump
I thought this old stump was really cool. It looks as if it wants to say something… or tell a story
Trees at Scotts Lake
I’m not sure of the history at Scotts Lake but there were several downed trees all along the shoreline. In a normal water year, I suspect that the tree stumps are submerged and provide the fish and other wildlife in the lake some shelter.
Scotts Lake
The Tahoe Basin has many lakes in the region. This is Scotts Lake which is accessible by an old jeep trail off of Hwy 88 near Hope Valley. The yellow foliage is Rabbit Bush along the shore.
Drought Effect on Crater Lake
From a higher vantage point you can see how the drought effects Crater Lake.
Lean Left
When you head straight down on a slope like this one, you want to lean left the mountain.
Steep
From the meadow, the trail leads to this steep grade. It’s mostly granite scree and out in the open. It was a little intimidating at first.
Storm and Light II
With the storm coming in, we decided to head down the mountain. But not before watching the sky open up a bit more, to cast some reflections onto Fallen Leaf Lake.
Storm and Light
Taken from the top of Tallac a morning storm front moved in over Fallen Leaf Lake. It was fun watching the storm and the light play out over South Lake Tahoe.
