Lake Trip: Day 3 and 4

After Tahoe area, we headed a about an hour south and an hour into the mountains. We headed through an area called Ebbett's Pass, which was about 8,500 feet up I think - super curvy road, and beautiful scenery. See pictures!

 We camped across the road from this lake - Mosquito Lake. Insanely beautiful, 8,000 feet up, snow here and there, and fish jumping all over the place!

 The lake had two sections, connected by a small 3 foot tall waterfall. There were a handful of houses/shacks on the opposite side of the lake

 Binoculars are awesome


 More of the houses on the other side of the lake

 View straight down one lake, up to the next (waterfall in the middle, right next to that tall lonely tree)


 Good spot to think

 Then we drove a couple miles from Mosquito Lake to another lake called Alpine Lake, and made some breakfast there

 This kid liked to climb and liked to talk - said he free-climbed part of Yosemite Falls, but idk. He actually may have - he was pretty eager to climb and show us stuff

 There happened to be a bike path along Alpine Lake! It was awesome, and right up against the water

 Right up against the water!

 Not sure what she's doing here, but I like her

Great bike path back to the car along Alpine Lake


 After Alpine and Mosquito Lake, we drove south into Mammoth area

 We set up our tent and hammock right next to June Lake

 Selfie again, at June Lake

 Selfie again, driving
