I finally made a run up to Sardine Lakes in Sierra County; I've been wanting to explore that area for some time now. It was absolutely worth the wait, as I found the scenery to be nothing short of stunning; Upper Sardine Lake in particular. The hike from Lower Sardine to Upper was less than a mile, and was a nice, gradual ascent. What a place!

It's really pretty, but when selecting the background music from The Edge, I expected Bart to show up for a cameo appearance. :D :unibrow:

Haha, no kidding! Glad his cousin(s) didn't make any appearances, albeit I'd love to see one from a safe distance. The only animals I saw were squirrels, and lots of them.

Regarding The Edge: great film, with a fantastic score. Jerry Goldsmith outdid himself with that one. That music compliments natural scenery with perfection.

Nice! Thanks for highlighting a new place for us. We really want to get there now. Any fishing in those lakes?

From what I've read, Lower Sardine is the lake to fish, albeit I don't know if it's a "hot spot" or not. I went there for the scenery.
