Visited on 9/1/2018, Jeff and I loaded up the truck camper and the kayak on the Jeep and headed up to Lake Basin Recreation Area to hike and visit several of the Lakes Basin area natural subalpine lakes. We, of course had our water-loving chocolate Labradors, Summer and Skye with us for a wonderful weekend of camping, hiking and kayaking for my birthday. We decided to visit the Eureka State Park and learn about the gold mining that took place in the 1850s when they struck gold up in Gold Mountain to the right in the picture. It was a great little museum and interactive tour of the blacksmith shop, assessor's office and gold panning demonstration. After visiting the State Park we drove up the hill about 3 miles to Eureka Lake. This lake is 35 surface acres at an elevation of 6,120 feet above sea level. Lots of folks swimming and playing with their children and dogs on the shoreline of this beautiful remote lake.
