Woods Lake with TrailTalkers

On the trail

We spent the weekend up in the snow at Wood's Lake, near Carson Pass. Temperatures were colder than we usually encounter in the Sierra, but the great company, hot chocolate, and down layers kept us warm.

Although it was cold (7 degrees when I crawled into my sleeping bag on Saturday night), the weather was nice - fresh snow blanketed everything and the sun would come and go in between small squalls. The scenery was fantastic.

The only bad part was the drive out on Sunday - below Kirkwood it was storming terribly - visibility was zero and the snow was accumulating fast. I was glad when we got down enough to be out of the snow - but we had to get below 2000 feet to get out of it!

Our photos are in the album here:Woods Lake Snowcamping.
