A hiker walks over the sand at Mirror Lake where there was once an actual lake. The lake has been filling with sand for many years and in 2012, one of the driest years on record, there is no water in the lake basin or in its tributary, Tenaya Creek. Half Dome and Mt. Watkins loom in the background.
