Palisade Glacier Lakes Snowshoe
Coming back from Arizona, Southern Utah and Death Valley I wanted to explore some more of the snow-filled Eastern Sierras. The only high road open year-round is the Glacier Lodge Road out of Big Pine. I camped at 8200 ft. before heading out in the early morning darkness towards North Palisade's Glacier Lakes. Last summer I ventured up to these bright blue glacier lakes. This time the snow started shortly after the trailhead and I through on my snowshoes. The approach to the the frozen glacier lakes was well worth it. The sun rising over First-Sixth Lakes was spectacular.

Always fun when there are more animal tracks than human footprints
Snow starting to melt in the early Spring
Trail leading back down to North Fork of Big Pine Creek
Very cool animal tracks!
