Catching up…first snows…

I’m catching up on posting some pictures of the first snows this year.  After the bigger of the two storms I headed up Rock Creek canyon to grab some pictures of Little Lakes Valley.  Didn’t hike too far in, just enough to get some pictures.  This one is the entrance of the valley, just after the initial elevation gain.

Then I hiked up and onto a set of rocks above a lake to get a better view of Mt. Dane and Mt. Abbot at the southern end of the valley.

Pulling back a bit from that view, you can see the lake in front (one of many) and Rock Creek which flows through the center of the valley, out through the glacial moraine and eventually flows through the faucets of Los Angeles.  Oh well, it’s pretty when its up here.
