Tahoe trails part 6. Water is life. Streams and creeks were plentiful on the trail thanks to all the melting snow. The surrounding mountains drain into the Meiss Meadows and thence into Lake Tahoe itself. It became second nature to refill my water bottle every time I came to a crossing.
 Water was scarcer when I hiked to Mount Eddy last year (and it was considerably hotter) so I was glad to keep hydrated on this trip.
