Emigrant Lake

Another cirque lake in the Sierra Nevada, California, right next door to the Kirkwood Ski Resort--but accessed by a 4 mile hike! We tried to go here in June last year but were turned back by a ford that was too deep and swift for comfort! Inset pix show some of the shoreline trees. This is one of those places where you end up with lots of pix where you can't decide which to use! The lake elevation is just under 8600 ft/2621 m.
