Dardanelles Lake features a photogenic granitic cliff that plunges into the water at one end...
Rushes are round, and sedges have edges: both present in this boggy patch along the Dardanelles trail...
Round Lake is down a few feet during this drought year...
Gin, anyone?
Thunder Mountain is a long ridge made of volcanic rocks. The summit is the molar just left of the deep gap about a quarter of the way from the right end of the ridge...

The breathtaking view of Silver Lake from the summit...

Crazy layered volcanic formation...

Colorful lichens LOVE the volcanic rocks...
