Laurel Lakes

Carol and I were taking a day off from mountain biking and decided to travel up the 4×4 road to Laurel Lakes – two lakes at 10,000′ in the Sierras. The road stair-stepped up the moraine near the bottom, then once the road began to parallel Laurel Creek, it got narrow and rocky. Several of the switchbacks required 10-point turns, rendering the road big truck-unfriendly.

The road arrived above Laurel Lakes - the final descent was through a series of switchbacks.
