See the hiker at the base of
the tree? Yes, this was a big tree. The 'bath-tub ring' look to this lake
gives it the appearance of a 'reservoir' – a body of water behind a
man-made dam. But it is not a reservoir; it is a glacier dammed lake and
the lake level fluctuates naturally. Many of the lakes along the edge
of the Brady Glacier have a 'bath-tub ring' around the edge from repeated
filling and draining, but I know of no other that has standing dead trees
of this size.
