Description However, as we walked out of the last trees hiding the lake from view, we faced an unexpected view: the Dry Lake had actually gone dry.
This sounds like a pun of some kind, or well naturally there is a reason why the lake was named "The Dry Lake". As a matter of fact, it may go dry - though most of the time it doesn't go dry completely, like we found it. What is more alarming though, normally it should go dry or near dry in autumn, when the rainfall in my country is normally the lowest, even in mountains. However, this was still in the heat of summer - by far too early for such a thing to happen.

I must admit after the long hike through the mountains in this rather hot day, wishing to see this lake, it was rather disappointing to find it like this.
But then, we decided we'll consider this an Achievement Unlocked event. Indeed, I had never seen this lake in its dry.

It probably stayed like this until late autumn. I don't know how things are this year, but it is still May, it should be well filled with snow water. However, turns out this is no guarantee it will stay for the whole summer.... not anymore.

Who knows, but it seems likely. It'd take a lot of rain water to fill it up enough to where the next day of week it isn't evaporated by the heat. Still beautiful tho.

Do bear in mind that all the neighbouring mountain also fills it up when it rains because water from the mounts will collect in the lake.

As a matter of fact, it naturally runs dry or almost dry. Just not at that time of the year....
