We visited here on Saturday, the 10th. As you can plainly see, there's still lots of snow from California's record breaking winter of 2022-23. We wanted to go the weekend before, but the forecast for rain was high so we waited a week but the forecast was still for rain so we went anyway. We did not regret it in the least. We got rained on but it was so worth it:) Caples Lake is a reservoir that is located near Kirkwood, California along highway 88. The lake was used as a halting place for wagon travelers who were trekking the historic Mormon Emigrant trail during the Gold Rush. Surface elevation: 7,802′ Area: 600 acres. Thanks for your comments:) Caples

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
