Driving East we get to Carson Pass and Caples Lake, the beginning of Fall colors. We entered the boat launch area at Caples Lake, and were immediately disappointed. It looked like Fall had come and gone. We didn’t even stop.
We were looking to stop for lunch but Bill thought there would be a better place, and boy was he right. Further East on highway 88, just a mile or two, was another lake entrance which was just for day use I guess. I didn’t see any camping, and we were a 15 minute hike from the water, (As told by a fellow hiker).
Also along this trail, we were told, was a hidden grove of Aspens in full color, so we packed up our cameras, and grabbed our lunch pails and headed off.
