Emerald Lake
The subalpine forest at Emerald Lake tapers to a few dense stands, revealing Flattop Mountain and Hallett Peak ahead.
At this elevation, the winds and heavy snowfall make survivability for most plant and animal life challenging.
As seen here, even in June the temperatures remain cold enough to keep ice floating on about 1/6th of the lake.
