RidgeRat's Trips: Snow, Gem, Wildcat Lakes

The plunge straight into Gem Lake
There are lots of lakes in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness that seem blue and deep. And then, when the wind stops blowing... you see the real story. Here, once you see past the waves, the lake starts to look scary deep. The steep rocks plunge downward, and just seem to keep going. It is like looking down the face of a cliff. Or maybe that is exactly what it is.
