Visited 7/29/2017 - Jeff and I loaded up our two chocolate Labradors, Summer and Skye and set out in our Jeep Wrangler for a full day of capturing the beauty of several California Lakes. Bear River Reservoir is the small high sierra reservoir that is just east of the larger Lower Bear River Reservoir both are located off of Highway 88, 40 miles east of Jackson, California. This has to be the saddest picture I have taken of any of the lake in my project and the most difficult lake to access thus far in my journey. Jeff and I spent a good hour driving off-road in the Jeep trying to get close enough to get a good picture of this much smaller 149 acre Lake. If we had driven a little further down the dirt road we still would have needed to hike the final mile down to the lake's edge. The trail drops 200 feet and unfortunately we did not have the time for the hike, but we did have a nice drive and we staked out some great areas to camp in the future. The upper lake is about a mile long and covers 166 surface acres and is at 5,800 feet in elevation.
