psquared Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2041 Posted August 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK, how about a clue, guys. Wonderful timing by DL4Guy. Maybe he knows the answer. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/landscape-travel/96021-sundial-bridge.html The bridge is located in the nearest large city.

doubice Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2042 Posted August 25, 2009 A wild stab at the map - Lake Berryessa? Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2043 Posted August 25, 2009 Somewhere in the Bishop Creek area? Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2044 Posted August 25, 2009 Not Lake Berryessa or in the Bishop Creek area. It's a much smaller alpine lake. It's closer to the only reservoir larger than Lake Berryessa in the state. Some would say if you can only do one hike in this area, you should take the trail along the creek that comes from this lake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2045 Posted August 25, 2009 Is it somewhere in the Yosemite National Park? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2046 Posted August 25, 2009 I'd guess not Yosemite, but Lassen... am I wrong ? The mentioned town ought to be Redding, I think... but too many lakes in the area... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2047 Posted August 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Luigi is correct. The lake is one of numerous lakes to the west of Redding. The most popular hiking trail in this region, named after the creek that drains this lake and well-known for the waterfalls and this lake, gets you to this lake and its somewhat larger and higher brother that drains into this lake.

luigi bertolotti Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2048 Posted August 25, 2009 Crystal Creek... Hedge Creek ... Mills Creek... Google Earth makes me desire to visit the area someday... I've just came back from 2 intensive mountain hiking weeks in Italy, and this could be a good reason to go somewhere else... (I had a quick look to Lassen Nat Park 30 years ago, and just from a panoramic Bus ... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2049 Posted August 25, 2009 It was my first venture up in the Trinity Alps (CLUE!!! ). Went backpacking with a group of 12 and 13 year old scouts up this creek. None of the ones Luigi mentioned. Alphabetically it comes before any of the ones that Luigi mentioned, and the name starts with a "C." Have I given it away yet.

luigi bertolotti Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2050 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Canyon Creek (lake has the same name ? Do I win a coffee ? *) * seems also a Coffee Creek exists thereabout... Edited August 25, 2009 by luigi bertolotti Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2051 Posted August 25, 2009 Yes! Luigi wins a coffee. There is a Coffee Creek, and another team of older scouts from our troop actually explored that area. The correct answer was the Lower Canyon Creek Lake. The peaks you see in the background are the Thompson Peak, the highest peak in the Trinity Alps at only 9,002 feet (less than 3,000 meters). The peak to the left is called Wedding Cake. I'm not sure why, as it doesn't resemble one. Here's a view from the other side. The Upper Canyon Creek Lake is to the right and the Lower to the left.

luigi bertolotti Posted August 25, 2009 Share #2052 Posted August 25, 2009 Why not to go with another ALPINE lake ? Literally alpine, I mean... The name is no matter - indeed it's un-named ... but maybe someone can recognize the Mountain Group in background (two pics from different positions - it's the same). Welcome, dear visitor!

fefe Posted August 26, 2009 Share #2054 Posted August 26, 2009 To the right on the first one it looks like "Le Break de Chambeyron" which is right at the French border but I am not used enough to the view on the Italian side so I could be completely off .

Guest suilvenman Posted August 26, 2009 Share #2056 Posted August 26, 2009 Unfortunately not, Luigi, the answer was courtesy of good 'ol Google. Maybe one day, though, I hope. I'll need to get scanning for the next one. Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
