Lake Angela from the Summit

Carleton Watkins 4236 - Lake Angela, Summit, C.P.R.R. - This view of Lake Angela is looking east from a rocky knoll northeast of Donner Ski Ranch. The lake is larger today after the dam was changed several times. Across the lake is Stewart Peak, and beyond it is part of Donner Lake. Stewart Peak was named for George R. Stewart, who authored many books on the area including a classic study of the ill-fated Donner Party. Photo location 39° 19.581'N 120° 19.775'W
