June Lake - Mono County, California

Visited on 10/2/2017 while driving to give an examination at Owens Valley Conservation Camp.  June Lake is the central lake on the scenic June Lake Loop.  This 160 acre lake is at an elevation of 7,654 feet above sea level and lies in the shadow of Mt. Ritter in a picturesque alpine basin on the June Lakes Loop. This picture was taken on the west side of the lake in the late afternoon from an area called "Oh Ridge".  The lake boasts abundant fishing, camping, waterskiing and wake boarding.    June lake is located off California State Route 158, on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
