Carson River
Ripples and snow along the Carson
An easy spot to get to from the junction where highway 88 & 89 meet in Hope Valley. There’s a small parking lot and you walk along a path towards the river. It’s pretty quite except for the occasional sounds of a car or truck on the highway. You come to a bridge and the Carson River follows under it. The late afternoon sun lights up the recent snows and the ripples of the water.
Cliff Swallows
Driving along highway 88 in California, I noticed a large flock of birds darting in and out of a large conglomerate of rock along the Carson river. I pulled over and scrambled down to the river’s edge. From a distance it doesn’t look like much but zoomed in I was able to get a photo of the numerous nests of Cliff Swallows built into the rock wall.
