I was up there last week for a couple of nights in Woods Lake Campground. It's among my favorite places. Carson Pass and its nearby lakes and meadows are at their best in midsummer, when the wildflower display is the best I know of in the Sierras. But late summer brings its own palette of warm colors and soft textures. And you still come across the occasional lupine, pussy-paw, or monkeyflower, taking advantage of one of the last remaining snow patches or moist seeps, hoping to attract a late-season pollinator and go to seed before the snows bury everything again.
On the way home, I stopped at Chaw'Se and Black Chasm Cavern, both near cute as a button Volcano, CA. Don't miss either one.
