I grew up on the north shore of Lake Tahoe with a view of the eastern peaks of Desolation Wilderness from my childhood home. Over the years I have lived in many places, but walking and exploring the mountains is where I feel the most at home. A peace and a contentedness that I cannot find in other places or pursuits fill me when I set foot on a trail leading to a lake or peak. My goal is to visit and photograph each of the named lakes within the Desolation Wilderness boundaries and publish those photographs here for those who are interested. For more about the beginnings of the project see "A Damp, Drizzly November.”
