Pyramid Lake Tours

#BVSBlue
Pyramid Lake is an endorheic lake. It has no outlet, with water leaving only by evaporation, or sub-surface seepage. This was taken in Sutcliffe, which is on the west shore of Pyramid Lake along State Route 445. The name of the lake comes from the impressive cone or pyramid shaped tufa formations found in the lake and along the shores. The largest such formation, Anaho Island, shown at the center, is home to a large colony of American white pelicans and is restricted for ecological reasonsA remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Lahontan (~890 feet deep), the lake area was inhabited by the 19th-century Paiute, who fished the Tui chub and Lahontan cutthroat trout from the lake.
