In that order. Off the Mt. Tallac trail. This is another one of those junipers much higher than its usual range. Now that we know what to look for, we see them everywhere, on dry Sierra slopes! The glaciated surface in the foreground contains well-defined striations. The rocks in the immediate foreground are glacial erratics. Looking east; the mountains across Lake Tahoe are in Nevada.
