Forest Service Route 077 (Part 3) - Stanislaus/Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest

On July 2nd, 2017 and July 8th, 2017, I took day trips to the Stanislaus National Forest and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in California. I traveled to places along State Route 108. The two trips were taken for photography, videos, and scouting out potential camping areas for my next trips. During July, there were still snow on the mountains, which I got quite some photos of. I will be splitting the photos into 6 parts. I hope you enjoy the photos. I also shot cellphone photos and scenery video on these trips. You can view them if you wish.

This is part 3. In this blog post, I have photos from Forest Service Route 077, which is the trail that leads to Leavitt Lake in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. I was not able to visit Leavitt Lake because the creeks were too high to cross safely. In order to get to Leavitt Lake, there are 2 creeks with no bridge that you have to cross. Photos from July 2nd, 2017.
