The photos for today are from day 2 of my trip and were taken on 2/20/2016. The photos are of Donner Lake, Donner Creek, and other random parts of Truckee, CA. You will get to see a lot of snowy winter scenery in this blog post.
A photo of Donner Lake shot from a random pier on the side of Donner Pass Road.

Another photo of Donner Lake from the same pier. You can see on the on the right that another pier is covered in snow. The one I was standing on was also covered. It was a pain to walk on. Being from the San Francisco Bay Area, I am really not used to walking in snow! Also on the mountain in the center, there is the Abandoned Historical Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) Tunnels.

A photo of Donner Lake shot in a park on the side of Donner Pass Road. I am glad I actually got into the park this year because I remember it snowed so hard one year, the park and parking lot was just a giant pile of snow! On the mountain in the distance is the Abandoned Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) Tunnels.

At this point in my trip, I decided to get a photo of myself at Donner Lake. This is one of my most favorite view points of Donner Lake. Sunny in a winter wonderland. :) I took the photo on a self timer.
A photo of Donner Creek shot from South Shore Drive. This creek leads into Donner Lake. I had much better luck getting a good photo at this spot back in 2012. You can see that blog post here. There was a lot more snow that year and it looked much prettier. On the mountain in the distance is the Abandoned Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) Tunnels.

I then headed to a park on the side of South Shore Drive. Here is a photo of the snow covered shore of Donner Lake. This was very hard to walk in.
