For those visiting Carson Pass for that "top of the world" feeling, a few more miles of travel down Route 88 to the West offers a reward. It's a view of Caples Lake, another body of water filled with the deep blue color of snowmelt.
If you want to do some cross-country skiing or hiking, this should keep you occupied. There is a resort along the shore of the lake called, cleverly, "Caples Lake Resort."
