Wright's Lake to Twin Lakes

Took Commando the Wonder Dog up 50 to the Wright's Lake exit east of Pollock Pines. This is a beautiful area with summer cabins and camping, but it certainly isn't that crowded, although, it's more crowded than some other areas.

The trail goes up pretty steadily and soon gets into beautiful granite mixed with pine forest. I made it up to a beautiful waterfall and rested and then turned back.

On the way back noticed a tiny tree seedling, about the size of my thumb growing in a large granite erratic (Hummer sized at least). Although I can't hold out much hope for this seedlings long term survival, I have to give it props for overcoming the odds of sprouting and finding a place without much competition.

This will be a great place to camp.
