Nestled beyond the nearby Ponderosa Pines rests an alpine lake, hidden away in the wilderness.

An alpine lake is a lake at a high altitude in a mountainous zone, usually near or above the tree line, with extended periods of ice cover. These lakes are commonly formed from glacial activity (either current or in the past) but can also be formed from geological processes such as volcanic activity or landslides.
