The Big Pine Lakes are an iconic California destin The Big Pine Lakes are an iconic California destination just 4 hours from Los Angeles, famous for their vivid blue water and dramatic mountains. You can see a total of 9 alpine lakes on this trail!  The highlight of a trip here is Second Lake, which is intensely colored and towered over by the dramatic Temple Crag. You can easily visit Second Lake as well as First Lake in a day hike. However if you’re lucky enough to snag a Big Pine Lakes camping permit, you’ll have time to visit additional alpine lakes and even the Palisade Glacier.  This trail is truly breathtaking, on the blog I’ve posted a guide that will help you plan your visit. I’ve also shared the story of my backpacking trip to Big Pine Lakes, which will give you an idea of what to expect! ⛰️ Big Pine Lakes 🌎 Eastern California 🥾 9.5 miles and 2,400 feet elevation gain Have you heard of the Big Pine Lakes before? #easternsierra #bigpinelakes #californiahikes #californiatrip #hiking #backpacking #womenwhohike
The trail to Hungry Packer Lake in California’s The trail to Hungry Packer Lake in California’s Eastern Sierra is full of amazing scenery, but as I was planning this hike initially caught my attention were the whimsical names of the lakes. Just a few examples: Dingleberry, Topsy Turvy, Baboon, and Hungry Packer lakes.  There are so many lakes along this trail that even if you don’t want to do the full hike, you’ll still see plenty. The hike to Hungry Packer Lake starts at Lake Sabrina, located in the Eastern Sierra of California. This trail takes you to mesmerizing blue lakes, picturesque alpine meadows, and a unique waterfall. In autumn, the Lake Sabrina area is also a prime spot for fall colors! Head over to the blog to read my guide to Hungry Packer Lake, including my personal backpacking trail report.   ⛰️ Hungry Packer Lake from Lake Sabrina 🌎 Eastern California 🥾 15 miles and 2,700 feet elevation gain (shorter and longer variations possible) Would you do this hike? #easternsierra #lakesabrina #californiahikes #californiatrip #hiking #backpacking #womenwhohike
Did you know that you can see vibrant fall foliage Did you know that you can see vibrant fall foliage in California? Having moved here from New England, I was skeptical about finding true autumn colors in California. However I discovered that if you know where to look, you can find golden aspen groves that rival the maples of New England.  On the blog I’ve posted a guide to California fall colors, sharing some of the best places to experience autumn in the Eastern Sierra. All of these destinations can be visited in a weekend road trip from the Bay Area or Los Angeles. Don’t worry if you’re not into hiking; all of these sites can easily be viewed by car! 🍂 Fall Colors in California 🌎 Eastern California 🍁 Go in mid-October 🚗 Plan a 2 day road trip to see all of the top foliage sites Do you love autumn as much as I do? #easternsierra #fallfoliage #fallincalifornia #californiaroadtrip #fallcolors
The Bishop Pass trail in California’s Eastern Si The Bishop Pass trail in California’s Eastern Sierra has something for everyone, with routes ranging from 4.7 to 24 miles.  Why should you visit? You’ll see over 10 alpine lakes, a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the lake basin, and a mountain resembling a Hershey’s kiss. Also, fewer people choose to backpack along this trail, making camping permits less competitive than other trails in the area. Head over to the blog to read my hiking and backpacking guide to the Bishop Pass Trail. ⛰️ Bishop Pass Trail from South Lake 🌎 Eastern California 🥾 14 miles and 3,000 feet elevation gain (shorter and longer variations possible) Have you visited California’s Eastern Sierra yet? #easternsierra #bishoppass #californiahikes #californiatrip #hiking #backpacking #womenwhohike
In my opinion, the Little Lakes Valley to Gem Lake In my opinion, the Little Lakes Valley to Gem Lakes trail is one of the best hikes in California’s Eastern Sierra. Unlike most hikes in the region, this trail is only moderately inclined and has spectacular views the entire time. The Little Lakes Valley hike passes by 6 alpine lakes before ending at the Gem Lakes, a series of 4 small and intensely colored lakes.    The moderate length and difficulty of this trek caters to hikers of all levels. If you’ve been meaning to try backpacking, this would also be an ideal place to start!  I’ve written a guide to Little Lakes Valley on the blog; check it out to start planning your visit. ⛰️ Little Lakes Valley to Gem Lakes 🌎 Eastern California 🥾 7 miles and 1,000 feet elevation gain Would you hike this trail? #easternsierra #littlelakesvalley #californiahikes #californiatrip #hiking #backpacking #womenwhohike
