Emerald Pools: Early Spring Edition
After a scintillating spring time walk along the Buttermilk Trail in the lower Sierra Nevada Foothills Marg, Kenzie the pup, and I decided to head up the mountain and see how spring was progressing in the high country. We were surprised to find out that spring is still dawdling in the mountains especially at 6000 ft. The trees are bare and there is still a fair amount of snow to slog through in the shadier spots of the trails. Still, a mediocre day in the Sierras is a heckuva lot better than a great day working.
Here, the Emerald Pools along Jordan Creek were still still looking winterish minus the snow. Even without spring's influence this is still a stunning place. Kenzie thought so--we had trouble keeping her out of the icy water.
