More photos from My Weekend:
Squaw Valley Ski Resort and Donner Lake area:
The decking at the top of Squaw, over looking Lake Tahoe in the distance.
Bleak at the top grasses and Alpines find nourishment amid rough broken granite.
Squaw Valley Ski resort with Swimming Pool and Hot tub at the top of the Mountains.
Squaw Valley held the 1960 Winter Olympics and there are a number of reminders of the event including a museum of the event.
Donner Lake is around 6000 feet above sea level
Thie view taken around 7000 feet looking down on the lake.
Looking up at the clouds some trees did not make it though the winter where snow falls over 20 feet and will make the area unrecognizable from its summer greens and browns.
Throughout the walk there were Meadows and covered areas in dappled sunshine where Wild Flowers and Alpines were flourshing in their short growing flowering and seeding season.
Snow still held firm on the sides of the Mountains around 7,000 feet above sea level. Streams of cold melting snow tricking across the path and down the Mountain.
View of Donner Lake around 8,000 feet above sea level at Donner Peak as the sun begins to set.
The Large rocks stand firm as if balanced on the top of the Mountain and show the ravages of the weather.
Sun Set silouettes the trees that only cling onto life at the tops of the Moutnains strive to survive in the heat of the Summer and the depth of Winter.

You have done a great job of recording the many facets of that place. I wonder how different those locations would look when the weather which shaped them turns. Probably it would be best not to find out.
