A Summers Day at Donner Lake and Summit

Donner Lake is next to the town of Truckee which is about 20 miles north
of Lake Tahoe and 100 miles east of Sacramento. Donner Summit at 7232
above sea level is well know for being one of the most brutal passes over
the Sierra Mountains in the days of the gold rush and pioneers moving west.

Very beautiful.

By the way, Donner lake is named after the infamous Donner Party tragedy that happened in the 19th century.

The Lake Tahoe area is also a great place to escape the valley heat during the summer.

Man, I haven't been to Donner Lake in YEARS. I swear I've been to Tahoe like every year of my life though. I need to get back up to the Sierra.
