On September 16, 2026, a fellowship made from the California Department of Water Resources’ Division of Flood Operations and GEI environmental consultants embarked on a three-day mission within Desolation Wilderness to renovate the existing Lake Lois snow pillow station with a new Hinge Fold Tilt-Pole. No road access meant the team had to reach the site on-foot. … This three-day excursion there and back was documented with photographs.
