Most of the color today in this area is from these berries -- California Mountain Ash (Sorbus californica). Thanks to Rich, for the plant identification!!!

Dayhike to Echo Lake and beyond, with Rich and the County Hikers. My first visit to this trailhead, and hopefully not the last.

Frank Farmer > Heading up the trail -- This trail segment is not in Desolation Wilderness, but it is enroute. This route is part of the Pacific Crest Trail and the Tahoe Rim Trail.

Frank Farmer > Very clear water! Pretty amazing, considering that there are a many houses and cabins near the lake. The resource management must be pretty strictly enforced!

Frank Farmer > Sparkling water, relatively calm

Frank Farmer > Cabins along the lakeshore

Frank Farmer > Wind patterns in the water

Frank Farmer > View across the lake, toward the Ralston Peak ridge
