then and now

Snowsheds Below Donner Peak

This view of Donner Peak and the snowsheds was shot from the Dutch Flat Donner Lake Wagon Road below McGlashan Point. Trees and brush are gradually taking over and obscuring the scene. The rocks are still there, and a with little exploring you can find them and put the picture back together in your head. Photo location 39° 19.125'N 120° 19.018'W
