Upper and Lower Red Lakes

Upper and Lower Red Lakes are two adjacent, naturally occurring lakes located in a semi-arid region. They get their name from the reddish tint caused by algae and minerals in the water. The "Upper" and "Lower" designations refer to their positions in relation to local geographic features or elevation, with the Upper Lake situated at a higher elevation and the Lower at a lower point. These lakes are important for local ecosystems, wildlife, and sometimes recreational activities, serving as seasonal habitats for birds and other animals. Their distinctive coloration and location make them notable natural landmarks in the area.
