(2015-June 29-July 1) Red Lake and South Lake Morning. Inyo National Forest, California.

Hot and humid hike up the canyon to just below lower Red lake. Woke up early in the morning (0400) and hiked/climbed up to Lower Red Lake, catching some nice reflection shots of Split Mountain. Continued up to Red Lake, sat high up on a rock outcrop on the east side, and watched a deer feed on some brush down by the lake. Weather was suppose to turn for the worse later in the day/evening, so I decided to hike out and end the trip a little early. Great workout and some nice weather conditions for what I had set out to capture. Spent the night in a hotel iin Bishop, woke early the next morning, and captured some sunrise shots in the 1/3 capacity filled South Lake.
