This beautiful shot is taken “somewhere” in the Sequoia or Kings Canyon National Parks – which are jointly managed and referred to as SEKI in National Park code. The US Department of the Interior tweeted this lovely image on Monday … but didn’t identify where it is specifically, or (as is pretty normal for them) who the photographer is. I’m guessing this is a lake that’s way up high in Sequoia National Park, above the tree line. Do you recognize this area?
