Again from Oct 10, '19.
After the stop at Convict Lake, @ 07:45 or so, I went up to Minaret Vista to see what it looked like without the smoke, then on down the road to Devil's Postpile. After getting a few of the National Monument, and it was tough with the light at the angle it was that time of morning, I made a quick stop at Sotcher Lake, just to see the site of many fond memories from my youth, and it had been over 30 years since I last saw it! I could even see the old sand bar we fished from on our vacations in the 50's and 60's!!
It was @ 11:15 and, despite the harsh late morning sunlight, I was treated to a wonderful display of Fall color. The first is from the trail to the lake from the road to the boat launch site, which was closed. The second is from the granite mountainside on the west side of the lake.
The family took a lot of rainbows out of that lake, back in the day!
