Red Rock Lake 12
Brainard Lake 

今天本想到Brainard Lake Recreation AreaYellow Pond Lily,順便攀登高山湖Lake Isabelle,但到了入口才知Long Lake Trailhead自去年水災後封閉迄今未開放,而Lake Isabelle的登山口就是Long Lake Trailhead,該登山口一封閉,我們只好逛逛Red Rock LakeBrainard Lake兩個湖了!

Red Rock Lake素以水面舖滿黃睡蓮(Yellow Pond Lily)聞名,往年來時花況並不甚理想,但今年來時花況甚佳,整個Red Rock Lake有將近一半的湖面舖滿綠油油的Yellow Pond Lily,點點黃花就懸浮在綠葉間,異常美麗。

欣賞完Red Rock Lake的黃睡蓮後再往內到Brainard Lake,一般車輛僅能開到此,再往內道路施工封閉,我們在湖邊逛逛後中午就在湖邊的野餐區用餐,用完餐後看天象有轉壞機向決定提早返家。
