We Just Went to Have Lunch at Ireland Lake


It was another great walk in the park yesterday with Rojoio- this time with a suggestion from Kelly. Why not go up Lyell Canyon and have lunch at Ireland Lake 10 miles away? Then go up the ridge and drop down into the hanging valleys filled with little lakes above Volgolsang High Sierra camp. Drink a glass of lemonade and buy some postcards while there- then head back down the regular trail to the car parked at the Tuolomnee Lodge. Its the perfect loop for any day. The top postcard is Ireland Lake with Ameila Earhart Peak rising above to the left; the bottom postcard is the great Kuna Crest ridgeline that one day I will traverse. For fun we have each snapshot in only 3 colors....
