A perfectly still and clear Thousand Island lake reflects Banner peak, and a thin sheet of ice remains on most of the lake. It’s an odd experience to see so much ice and snow in summer weather - it was at least 70° while we were at the shore.

Trip summary: 13 miles from Mammoth Main Lodge to the small saddle North-West of Island pass https://awhite4777.pythonanywhere.com/SierraMapperAlpha/default/mapper/m142/m167/m030/m029/m029
