Meadow near Pinto Lake, Sequoia National Park. More like a meadow than a lake, Pinto Lake is located along the trail to Black Rock Pass in Sequoia National Park. Exhausted after a long day of hiking from Minaral King, I had hoped to reach Spring Lake below Black Rock Pass only to be stopped by shear exhaustion. The grass in the meadow around Pinto Lake, depicted here, had an eerie glow at dusk.
