| Stella Lake. There are a couple alpine lakes accessible by the trails just below Wheeler Peak that we wanted to check out. Teresa lake, the smaller of the two, was only about 0.2 miles from the trail leading back to our car. It was underwhelming though – looked more like a pond. Stella Lake was 2-3 times as large according to the map and more promising, but we had a hard time deciding. We'd like to get done with hiking before it got dark, Teresa Lake was 0.8 miles further out, we had no idea about the condition of the trail, and it was almost 4pm. Then we met a couple hikers who just came over from there and were told it barely took them half an hour, so we decided to go. When you had time on your mind, it felt forever, but we finally got there. It's totally worth it, seeing this beautiful view of the stark contrast of snow-covered peaks and dark green trees reflected in the lake. If you look closely, you can also see the trail of the falling snow over the dark reflection of the trees. And we got back to the car while there was still light.
丝黛拉湖。在狐尾松林的不同方向有两个高山湖。特丽莎湖小但是比较近，额外走不到一公里就到了，不幸的是小的令人失望，更像个池塘。丝黛拉湖从地图上看要大个一两倍更有希望，可是还要再远差不多1.5公里。安全起见我们天黑前一定要结束徒步，当是已经快4点了，接着走也不知道路况如何，所以很犹豫。这时碰到了两个人刚从丝黛拉湖过来，她们用了不到半个小时，给了我们信心继续走。走起来感觉是“怎么还没到？”不过还是坚持下来了。万幸如此，要不就看不到雪山绿树倒映在湖中的美景了。仔细观察在湖中比较暗的部分（树的倒影）你能看到雪落的轨迹。我们在天黑前回到了车里。 |
