Backpacking the John Muir Trail southbound in the John Muir Wilderness, not far beyond Selden Pass, my two companions and I reached the Sallie Keyes Lakes in late afternoon and found a campsite in the forest a short walk from the eastern lake. Although not as well known as, say, Marie Lake or Thousand Island Lake, the Sallie Keyes Lakes are a lovely spot with plenty of protected, nice campsites. In the calm air early the next morning, I shot this photo of the mirror-like lake reflecting the peaks above it.
