Conditions: Loch Leven Lakes Conditions 6/14/2019

Post by Ikan Mas »

Haven't posted for a while since my photobucket account maxed out. Trying Google today.

Friday, June 14, I went up I-80 to Big Bend to see where the snow was at Loch Leven Lakes. Everything was nice and dry at the trailhead (elevation 5800) but I could see snow on the ridgetop.

I ran into snow as I approached the railroad tracks, just a little above elevation 6000.

As I approached the summit, elevation 6800, the snow was deep and coverage was pretty complete.

Here's the first lake:

The second lake:

My guess it will be well into July before these lakes are thawed out.
