Reflection Lake

Reflection Lake
Shortly before noon, I pulled into Reflection Lakes.  Right on the Steven's Canyon Road, there was quite a bit of traffic, but the sight was worth it.  The trails leading from Reflection Lakes were still covered in snow, but with the help of others' footprints, I found the trail without an issue.

The lake was still but only about half melted.  Large portions of ice were still on the lake.  However, there was one area in the ice flow that melted in about the same shape as the mountain.  By far my best photograph of the day.

After having a little rest and a snack, I decided to head back down when I saw a stream coming in across the road.  Only about the last 30 feet (10m) were visible, but you could hear the water echoing underneath the snow.

The trip back to Narada Falls was uneventful.  I warned a group from England that there was a snowfield ahead and given their footwear, they decided to turn back.  The mothers and their preteen sons, however, thought it was cool and couldn't wait until they found the snow.
