The Lakes Are Full (Or At Least Have Water) This Year | Flagstaff, AZ (April 8, 2019)

A record-breaking snowy winter means that this year's landscape is going to be markedly different from the way it was in 2018. The lakes (Upper and Lower Lake Mary and Mormon Lake to some extent) are full (or full-ish) which means that water now covers areas along the lakes where meadows grew last year. The rocks that were exposed last year along Upper Lake Mary are now completely underwater, and there are a number of different groups of ducks and geese dabbling and diving in Mormon Lake.

I'm excited...to kayak on Lower Lake Mary this year, but I'm most excited to see what this means for the flora that will be sprouting soon and well into the winter season, and to see what types of fauna the water will attract.
