Home is nice too! In summer I especially enjoy hiking. The other day I hiked one of my favorites – the Bayview trail to the outlet of Fontanillis lake. This hike ascends Maggie’s peaks from which you have great views of Granite Lake, Lake Tahoe and of the mountains of Desolation:

Then the hike takes you towards Upper Velma Lake. After a bit, I take off cross-country for the outlet of Fontanillis Lake, which flows down a beautiful cascade into Upper Velma Lake. This is a gorgeous place to rest, lunch and take in the magnificent view:

Summer in the Sierra Nevada = heaven on earth!
