Dollar Lake is a fairly small seasonal body of water almost hidden below the north face of the San Gorgonio-San Bernardino Peak ridge and about a two mile hike from South Fork Meadows. It has been described as a jewel and supposedly when full shines like a silver dollar, but obviously late in the summer dries up. An upside-down V next to the common name indicates a taxon that was new to me when I photographed it on this field trip.
