Grass Lake reflections on a calm day in October
Grass Lake in the Desolation Wilderness

How many shades of blue do you see?
Grass Lake is a picturesque lake filling a granite dip a few miles south of Mt. Tallac in the eastern Desolation Wilderness. The lake is surrounded by granite formations partially covered with pinemat manzanita and an open conifer forest. Only along the shorelines of the secluded coves, you will find grassy bands of vegetation that justify the lake's name. Grass Lake Falls can be seen (not in this picture) cascading down the cliffs northwest of Grass Lake. The lake can be reached via a 2.7-mile-long hiking trail beginning at the Glen Alpine trailhead.
