Hike 4/30 Ross Dam to Diablo Lake
We started here, where the highway 20 winter closure gate is located. Many bicyclists were riding the highway, free of snow and traffic.
Grand views begin almost immediately on the trail down to Ross Dam
Standing atop 500-foot-high Ross Dam
Water level in the reservoir is very low, but will rise dramatically in the next few weeks
Walking the "haul road" between Ross Dam and Diablo Lake
View of Pyramid Peak
At the base of Ross Dam, a footbridge crosses the river and connects to the Diablo Lake Trail
Partway up the climb from the river, looking back at Ross Dam and Powerhouse
Colonial-Pyramid group, across the valley from Diablo Lake Trail
A few wildflowers were seen, including these Indian Paintbrush
