Photo above--During the first night it snowed a couple of
inches. This was the scene that greated me that morning at
Little Bear Lake. A photographer's delight. Photo by Paul
Richins.
Photo left--The view on the hike down from White Bear
Lake to Little Bear Lake with Seven Gables dominating the
background. The Bear Lakes Basin is an extremely scenic area
containing about 20 named lakes and many tarns. The basin is
located south of Lake Italy between Seven Gables and Mount
Julius Caesar. The following group of photos was taken in
mid September 2005. Photo by Paul Richins.

Alpine Lake (Trinity Alps). Dad "lucked out" and easily
caught enough trout for dinner for our party of four hungry

Prince, my American Eskimo Dog, has climbed more than 100
peaks with me in the summer and winter in the Sierra Nevada
and Cascade Range. He sleeps outside the tent at night in
all weather conditions including blizzards and -10 degree
temperatures. He weighs only 19 pounds but is a very durable
dog that loves the mountains and snow. Photos by Judi
