    The beauty of Aster Lake is reason enough to stop by. The Southern Sierra Nevada scenery is always beautiful. Just can't get enough of Aster Lake. Horse Creek is a pretty stream that is worth going to, and on a great day you can take a hike along the Sheep Creek Trail. Man, is there loads of cool stuff to do in the Southern Sierra Nevada. You could also pop by Emerald Lake while you're here at Aster Lake; it's nearby, and going for a hike along the High Sierra  
   Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area.
At Aster Lake during the days of summer highs are in the 70's while night lows are regularly in the 50's. The winter brings highs down to the 40's, and during the dark hours in the wintertime at Aster Lake temperatures fall to the 20's. So much amusing stuff to do here in the Southern Sierra Nevada, too great to be true. If you need a site to stay Comfort Inn At Sequoia National Park is a good
 
               choice, and if you've had enough of Aster Lake, Heather Lake is nearby. A short trip to Tokopah Falls is always worthwhile, and you simply should go to Tharps Rock since you're here at Aster Lake.
So much entertaining stuff to do at Aster Lake, so little time. Alta Peak is clearly visible from Aster Lake. The good folks of Visalia-Porterville like to hang out nearby, and everybody loves Mehrten Meadow. Stay the night at Log Bridge Campground, and get drenched paddling on Kaweah River - Middle Fork.
This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Aster Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Aspen Hollow - Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park is a brilliant place for that, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Kaweah River. The amount of precipitation that falls at Aster Lake is close to the national average; the month with most of the rain is January, and the driest month of the year is July. This lake is so wonderful. Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park is a good local destination here at Aster Lake, and if the weather is nice, you can go for a hike along the Atwell Hockett Trail.

Moose Lake
This is a picture I took of Moose Lake on a lengthy loop hike in the Sequoias taking the Lakes trail past Heather, Astor, Emerald, and Pear Lakes; then cross country over the divide above Moose Lake where I took this photograph looking down on the lake. I then returned to the trailhead by going southwest over the divide down to the Alta Trail through Panther Gap back to the Lakes trailhead. A very long day hike. I took pictures along the entire route....

Leavis Flat - Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
Leavis Flat- I loved it! Small campground, right next to Deer Creek, only 9 sites. You can buy ice and extra necessities just up the road at the California Hot Springs (resort?) No cell phone service, ranger comes by once a day, it's very mellow. You are roughing it unless you bring an RV. No showers or flush toilets. So beautiful. We were there for Memorial Wknd. Some locals said it's usually pretty empty but the campground was full for our trip. I've heard they might shut it down. Maybe it's not bringing in enough cash for the upkeep. I bathed in the creek. My boyfriend wasn't so brave, too cold for him. If you're planning on doing the sights at the Sequoia National Park, it's a two hour drive to Morro Rock to give you an idea. The creek is so pretty and the water is drinkable, not deep enough to swim but perfect to cool off. The mosquitoes weren't too bad and with the right company, it's the perfect setting to get totally away! My boyfriend has all the pics on his phone, but I'll come back and post them....
