Desolation Wilderness, Upper Velma Lake, May 26-28, 2007 - Page 5

Some folks from the NorthCA_Hiking group headed up to Desolation Wilderness for Memorial Day weekend. We hiked the Bayview Trail to Upper Velma Lake, climbed Phipps Peak, and roamed cross country back to Upper Velma. Monday, we hiked out and had a scrumptious lunch alongside Lake Tahoe before the drive home. Great time!

Wannabp > There's a duck on a log in the exact middle of the photo. If you're not on dial-up, you can see him if you choose 'original' size. Theresa, you took the same shot, but without the duck!

Wannabp > Phipps Peak, seen from the south. We approached from the west then from the south as we got nearer the top.

Wannabp > Snow plant. It was really this bright!
