Looking back at Wrights Lake and the western sierra. We hiked along at times with a group of well-mannered teenage boys. Nice to see kids developing an appreciation for the outdoors!

Dayhike to Twin Lakes and Island Lake in Desolation Wilderness, with Karen, Lisa, and Eric from the Yahoo Sacramento Hikers Group. A great day in the mountains! My first time hiking in this area, despite living in Sacramento since 1980. A few days after our hike, a serious forest fire occurred near Wrights Lake.
