The last few years this area had a very low snow, and this past year they had lots of fires. Due to not having any snow melt for replenishing, and also using the water to fight the local fires, the lake has dropped more than 50 feet. Vallecito is a beautiful lake, in a beautiful setting. The low water did however make for some interesting shots of tree roots that they planted years ago as structure for fish to hide in.
