- Yosemite National Park: Sunrise Lakes
11 students from Turlock and Pitman High School braved the cold of mid-October and spent three nights at Yosemite's spectacular Sunrise Lakes. They enjoyed map reading, views from Pluton Point and Cloud's Rest, watching shooting stars at night, skipping rocks, colorful sunrises and sunsets, and illegal fire ring removal. In the words of one student, "Sunrise Lake became home."

First night at camp at Sunrise Lake. It’s freezing cold, but the sunset is amazingly beautiful. A Combination of pinks, purples, blues, grays and black, a sunset you dream of or see in movies. An overall great night with a beautiful sunset.
