    Do stop by Babcock Lake while you're in this part of California. This lake is one of the great places here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Central Sierra Nevada. A good site to camp here at Babcock Lake is Tenaya Lake Campground; Badger Pass is a brilliant local ski area. But wait, there's more fun things to do in the Central Sierra Nevada. There are brilliant spots to look at along the John Muir Trail - section 1, and in the  
   event that you don’t have a problem getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Yosemite Creek.
The yearly rain here at Babcock Lake is about average; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain, and July on the other hand is the driest. Camping is available at Upper Pines Campground, and Yosemite Lodge at the Falls is a wonderful place to get some rest. Don't leave Babcock Lake without first going for a hike along the
 
               Half Dome Trail; why not a little side journey to Cathedral Fork.
