Sunrise over Lake Mendota by bladedragon
Simply nice, I managed to find a nearly perfect spot for sunrise viewing.
It's at the end of Muir Woods trail and near the Picnic point entrance.
I think the perfect one is somewhere along Picnic point trail itself, but before sunrise it's gonna be pitch black there.
