Almond Dust Over Bullfrog
Love this lake. Can't get enough. To swim in it is heaven after the slog up to and over Kearsarge Pass.
"At this beautiful place—the most beautiful I have yet seen in the Sierra—we camped nearly a week. The lake, 11,000 feet above sea-level, stands in an amphitheater completely surrounded by the highest peaks of this the most alpine portion of the Sierra. On the east, the sharp, jagged, castellated, pinnacled, splintered peaks of Kearsarge ; then going round southward, the symmetric, conical, towering form of University Peak, 14,000 feet high,then Stanford Peak equally lofty, and Mt. Keith still loftier, 14,200 feet, then the fine outlines of the Videttes; then southwestward the grand, massive form of Mt. Brewer with its great cirque filled with snow, from which emerges a fine glacier. On the northwest Charlotte Peak, with Charlotte Lake at its foot, and all the fine peaks of the Sierra in panoramic view from its summit. Several of these peaks—Charlotte Peak, Mt. Keith, etc.—were ascended by the younger members of our party, while I kept camp and strolled around the lake enjoying the in- comparable scenery." - Dr. Joseph LeConte ;July 20th, 1900
