Fire Lookout Station
Drove around to the North side of Lake Tahoe. We parked an walked up to the point. We were surprised to find this restored fire lookout station at the top.
Martis Peak Overlook
There’s a old dirt forest road on the Northshore of Tahoe. If you walk along the trail by the meadow of Mule Ears you’ll come to this overlook. High above Lake Tahoe is this beautiful vista.
Bright Mule Ears
Bight yellow flowers of the Mule Ears rustle in the wind. The leaves of Mule Ears are covered with soft white matted hairs.
Sulfur Flowers at Martis Peak
Sulfur Flower Eriogonum umbellatum ~ Buckwheat Family
Found near Martis Peak in North Lake Tahoe the patch of Sulfur Flowers with the Lake in the background
Lunch Break
Lunch Break near Ward Creek. Food always seems to taste better after a long hike and beautiful surroundings.
Trail to Echo Lake
It was morning and we needed to get to Echo Lake to meet the shuttle to our next stop. This trail runs along Lake Aloha.
Break in the Desolation Wilderness
Another photo from the 2011 TRTA Thru-Hike. We were taking a break in Desolation Wilderness and getting our bearings. It looks like Roger is admiring the view but he was really trying to phone home to ‘check-in’.
