Dramatic Skies at Pyramid Lake, Nevada
Pyramid Lake Rest Area
Pyramid Lake has about 3 or 4 trees on the whole lake if you exclude the little town of Sutcliffe. In the Summer you definitely need to bring an umbrella because there is no hiding from the intense sun.

The Pyramid from West Shore
The Pyramid is a sacred place on the East Shore. No one but the Tribe is allowed there. There are many beautiful places along the shoreline to stop and soak in the Beauty of the Lake.
The Needles on North Shore
The Needles are off limits to everyone, But from a distance they are grand monuments rising from the salty sea where dust storms blow and water boils.

Pyramid Lake is Spiritual. I have experienced it. Many times. To sit alone and BE with the wonder of skies, desert and water.
