A Short Trip in the Pioneer Basin Area

Evening at Lower Hopkins Lake as seen from near the inlet of the lake, looking towards the Mono Divide.

Evening At Lower Hopkins Lake

A Pioneer Basin Trip from Edison Lake, June 2003

As evening rolled around I walked around to the north end of the lake to take in one of the best views of the trip. I remember thinking on the way back from our little hike that this would be a great spot for a picture, and it sure exceeded my expectations. Gook lake, good camp, solitude, the alpen-glow, no bugs, great weather...what more could you ask of a stay in the Range of Light?

After a relaxing evening, I had no trouble turning in at dusk for a sound nights sleep.
