California's Eastern Sierra, along with Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Basin,
contain some of the most beautiful alpine and mountain lakes in the
world. Our intent is not to replace the many fine camping and
paddling guides already written - we already own a copy of almost all of
them. What we did find, due to the confines of a guide's printed
page, is a lack of photos for each lake. WesternPaddling.com is
really meant to augment existing guides. Quite simply, we wanted
to post a larger selection of photos for each lake featured. Many
guides feature a single black and white photo of each lake, which makes
it hard to judge which ones are more attractive to the individual
paddler. It
also gives us an excuse to try paddling new lakes on weekends!

tested, and greatly enjoyed, on the lakes of the Eastern Sierra!
