Fish Lake

10 Dec 2018 5 6 486
Another one of those generic names! This Fish Lake is a natural high alpine lake (elevation ~8500 ft, 2700 m) in central Utah. It fills the low part of a fault-bounded valley; i.e., a graben. The monsoon rains were in fine form! Looking (more or less) south. The inset shows a slightly different view.

A storm in the desert--

Intense thunderstorm in Saline Valley, California. The rain is so heavy the water is actually running off the surface--a so-called "sheet flood." You can tell this sort of rainfall is unusual by the vegetation! Looking southwest to the Inyo Mountains.
