Leavitt Lake in Stanislaus National Forest

07/25/16

I spent a few days here before the drought started, it must have been early June, there was still lots of snow to deal with to get to the lake, not a single visitor just our group. It is a very picturesque spot and the day hike to summit Leavitt peak is fun, but even better is riding the snow back down to the lake on my day pack. Woo hoo! The only downside is it can get rather windy and cold as the the wind can really pick up speed down that snow face in the picture. Almost lost a tent in our group and a few poles were bent, choose your spot carefully. Fortunately, we found the blown away tent a few hundred yards away with no damage.
