Ward Lake, CA
Our trip to Ward Lake this year was pretty adventurous. The fishing was amazing and the weather was hot. A bear decided to come in and eat all our food out of our ice chest and we had a severe thunderhead come through. Just a normal two weeks in the high Sierras.
A few years ago the Creek Fire came through the campground and burned the West side of the lake. This year when we hiked around the lake, we saw a lot of fireweed. My first experience seeing fireweed was in Alaska and I've never seen it before in this area. It really does bloom after the fire and brings back beauty to an area that has been decimated.
