Magic Reservoir and Alturas Lake

Barry took us on a drive last weekend to Magic Reservoir and Alturas Lake. It was a cold day, but it sure was beautiful up there. We brought some lunch and snacks and were off on another adventure. :D

 


 

 

Thing just got a little bit more crazy. ;)
 Magic Valley Reservoir. This Reservoir is a very strange place out in the middle of no where.

There was a quite a few shack/houses along the shore. Seemed like a great place for doing all thing illegal.


 We drove up and over Galena Summit.  ...and found some snow.



 It was a bit colder than she expected. :D

 One of our favorite books to read as a family is Ski the Mountain. The story is based in these beautiful mountains. It was fun to point out the different places to the kids.













 This is the campsite we stayed at last time we camped up here. IT was a good one. We will be back with our new kayaks. James desperately wants to try catching Salmon.


We drove through Sun Valley on the way up the mountain. There were having a relay race over the mountain. It was fun to see all the different runners. These are not them. They DID run right in front of us though.

So are there places in the book "skli the mountain" that you can pick out while visiting the area? I haven't read that book since I was in high school and I don't remember it very well...
