Description:
“Directly at its foot was a beautiful lake, fringed with tiny meadows on one side, and guarded on the other by fine cliffs of white granite, which could be traced far down beneath the clear waters till lost in their blue depths.” (S.C.B., 1903, IV:4, p. 259.)
Named in 1902 by J. N. Le Conte for his wife, Helen Marion Gompertz Le Conte (1865-1924), who was with him on a pioneering trip up Cartridge Creek. (J. N. Le Conte.)
Mrs. Le Conte made many trips to the High Sierra; climbed many peaks, including first ascent of Split Mountain (South Palisade); a charter member of the Sierra Club. (Memoir by J. S. Hutchinson in S.C.B., 1925, XII:2, pp. 148-155, portrait.—Memorial on shore of Marion Lake, shown in S.C.B., 1926, XII:3, plate XCIV.) From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926) by Francis P. Farquhar
