Description
This is a beautiful crystal clear glacial lake in California's Lassen Volcanic National Park. When the light is right, you can see into its depths. In this photo Lake Helen is in the foreground ... with Lassen Peak in the center, Eagle Peak on the left and the base of Mount Helen on the right in the background. The clear water of Lake Helen gives the illusion that the reflections of the peaks are rising up from the bottom of the lake. The lake is named after Helen Tanner Brodt, who in 1864 was the first woman to reach the summit of Lassen Peak.
