Granite Park, by Paul Roark
Granite Park is a wonderful high basin just east of Italy Pass.
There are even shallow, yet crystal clear, pools near the 11,500 foot campsite
that get warm enough for comfortable swimming. The easiest access is the
Pine Creek trail just north of Bishop. Honeymoon Lake is the place to stay
if you like trees and a lower elevation.
This shot has special meaning to me because it was the first trip into the Sierras that
I took after buying my Rollei SL66 in 1981. I used the 150 Sonnar - a very fine lens indeed.
