Greetings:
This is one of my favorite Alpine areas in the Northern California Sierras. To the right of this frame and about 2.5 miles... is the famous Kirkwood Meadows Ski Resort located south of Thunder Mountain.
This shot is across the SE corner is of Caples Lake, I was standing on the Dam which Highway 88 runs over. The Pacific Crest Trail runs just behind those mountains in the distance. Caples Lake is home to Brown, Mackinaw Lake Trout and Rainbows and some of the most tasty Crayfish (Mountain Lobster) in the State. Caples Lake is about 90 miles airline SE of Sacramento, CA at an elevation of 7820 feet ASL.
Enjoy,
Don
