Description
This is a photograph of Hidden Lake of the Mount San Jacinto State Park in California. It's a quiet and peaceful place that sits about 9000 feet above sea level.
It is designated a natural preserve where an an almost extinct flower called the Hidden Lake Bluecurl blooms. Lakeshore access is prohibited without special permit. Along the shoreline here are small dark shadows that are mostly an endangered frog species. As I approached the shoreline to take the photograph I began to see the ground moving in front of me. A bundle of small frogs frightened by my presence!
We took the Palm Springs Tramway from the Coachella Valley desert floor to the Mount San Jacinto State Park. Amazing how the temperature plummets! On this day the desert floor was 112 degrees, but the mountain sanctuary was 72 degrees. Great for the mile plus hike to the lake.
