thousand island lake
The headwaters of the San Joaquin River Middle Fork —Thousand Island Lake — is shown at 9,833 feet as seen from a spot just off the Pacific Crest Trail in the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Looming over its western shore is the 12,942-foot Mt. Banner
Seven miles into the Ansel Adams Wilderness I got my first view of Thousand Island Lake from the Pacific Crest Trail.
