Another natural glacial lake. It's off the Pacific Crest Trail north of Carson Pass, in the Sierra Nevada, California. It's part of the headwaters of the Upper Truckee River, so it's in the Tahoe Basin. Yes, it's "Mice"--named after an early pioneer who was an immigrant from Germany. There's no "Katz" lake in the area, however! ;)

A branch of the Upper Truckee River that has no name on the 7.5' USGS topo. Off the Christmas Valley trail on the way to Dardanelles Lake. Lake Tahoe basin, California. Map location is approximate.
