Precipice Lake in Sequoia National Park, California
The icy waters of Precipice Lake, set against a wall of granite, reward hikers on the High Sierra Trail at Sequoia National Park in California. If this scene looks familiar, you may have seen Ansel Adams’ version, as the environmentalist and artist famously photographed the lake in black-and-white in 1932. In addition to pristine alpine lakes, this neck of the woods is famous for its ancient and behemoth trees, including the world’s largest single-stem tree, a sequoia, of course.
