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. Silver Lake is a very picture perfect alpine lake on Highway 88 located near Kirkwood Ski Resort 52 miles east of Jackson, California. At an elevation of 7,200 feet above sea level this lake is 385 acres. With a lot of history Silver Lake has been a popular destination on Carson Pass for decades. Residents of the central valley flocked to the mild climates of the mountains in the summer, often setting up tent camps that stood for months. Many of the lodges and camps at Silver Lake were established in the 1920s, while Plasse's dates back to 1853. Several of the old resorts still operate today, offering modernized accommodations and countless amenities. Anglers, hikers, photographers, artists, birdwatchers, and nature lovers enjoy exploring the lake and its surrounding countryside.
This monument is posted at the Vista Lookout Point at Silver Lake regarding the Mormon-Carson Pass Emigrant Trail. Lots of history dating back to the late 1840's.
