Photography Tips

For the best range of landscape in one picture you should use a wide-angle lens.

Picture 1: If you don´t have your one with you or just 24mm or more you can create a series like a panorama. Do three portrait angle pictures next to each other, pay attention to the same level of the horizon and use a tool like Lightroom to put them together.

Picture 2: For more details from the water you can use a tele-zoom lens along your way. There are several options.

Travel Information

Starting point is the Chapel Basin Parking Lot. From here the trail leads through lush green forests, river streams and waterfalls to the lakeside. It is a moderate way in depending on the kilometers but normally easy to do. Bring enough water and some lunch with you. There is nothing on the way.
