Muncho Lake Reflections

Said to be the most colorful lake on the AlCan Highway. Must agree, it was a brilliant teal green, especially when the sun broke thru the clouds.

 

I liked the dual reflections, skies and land.

 

"The jade green color of the lake is attributed to the presence of copper oxide leached from the bedrock underneath. Its name is derived from the Kaska language in which "muncho" translates as "big water."

Some have suggested it was named by camping hippies.....who got hungry......

 

Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!
