Channel Lake - Desolation Wilderness
Here is the first image from my backpacking trip last week. I'm pretty sure this is Channel Lake which is in Desolation Valley in Desolation Wilderness (which is Southwest of Lake Tahoe). This area is basically a watershed for the Crystal Range just to the South (just to the right in this image), that house Pyramid Peak, Mt. Agassiz and Mt. Price. There are tons of lakes within a rocks throw of each other all of this basin. Some nothing more than a big puddle and some larger such as this. But all of them are pretty spectacular considering.
This was our first night in this area. The clouds began to form over Lake Tahoe all day and then slowly moved in over this basin in the late afternoon. And luckily they stuck around for sunset!
