Mirror Lake is a historic landmark that will soon no longer exist. Not due to man alone. Mother Nature has decided this one herself. The hike to get to the lake has just as many beautiful stops along the way as the lake. Thank you for viewing. :)

    HI Nancy! THis is a wonderful shot! Congrats on the feature! Bet this was beautiful in person….why isn’t it going to exist much longer?

  • Nancy Chambers replied

    Thanks Mekea….hope all is well with you and yours. It was so beautiful in person. Well, Mother Nature is changing it herself. The natural changes of the rocks. The boulders will evenutally fall and fill the lake. (that’s a condensced version) Sad but it is the way She works… :)

    Hello Nancy,
    I looked at this photgraph with surprise as I had read somewhere that Mirror Lake was no more, but after reading your comment it still just exists. We were there in 2001 and stood in the sand where Mirror Lake should have been, because of the drought it had vanished. Lovely shot I am very envious that you saw it in full bloom.

  • Nancy Chambers replied

    Hi david, thanks so sorry about the delay in responding. You should try to go check it out again before it’s gone for good. Best time is April and May. :) Thanks for your nice comments. :)

    What is the story on the lake disapearing.

  • Nancy Chambers replied

    Thanks Estes….well, seems as though Mother Nature is filling it in. Most of the park has huge boulders, and after reading all the parks plaques, etc. we learned so much. It’s such a wonderful history trip. Sad that the lake will soon be filled in, but Mother Nature has her reasons I suppose. :)

    Outstanding all of our natural wonders are in peril you say not due to mans influance—but i beg to differ with you on this everything we do has an influance on the world around us so yes we are responsible not only for its demise but for tring to restore it as well

    mike

  • Nancy Chambers replied

    Yes, man does have a part, but Mother Nature is working her part as well. Nothing is being done to restore it. Eventually the lake with no longer exist. Thanks Mike. :)
