I still can't find my pics, but I ran across these photographs taken back in the thirties. Taylor lake is a very pretty very small lake. Kinda hard to get to, its not very well signed and you are on about five miles of dirt roads to get there. Gets a little rocky right near the lake but not bad. No facilities. A road winds around up the back side to the lookout. The lookout is no longer manned, just used for a repeater site now.

That's a really cool lake photo! Reminds me of the scenary at Death Valley with all the colors. (artist palette) Where is that lake located?...
 
This is in the Plumas National Forest. Northwest of Antelope lake. Northeast of Quincy.
 
thats southwest of antelope lake. how do you get in there? you come through Genesee valley out of Taylorsville?
 
You can either take the direct road from taylorsville, or the way I usually go (since we camp at antelope) is about 7 miles from the lake (antelope lake on the road to taylorsville) you turn off and start going uphill. Theres a couple more ways if you want to get deep into the forest.
