     Bigelow Lake is a nice lake to visit. You'll wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun stuff at Bigelow Lake. What would winter be without some skiing at Dodge Ridge, and Bigelow Peak is clearly visible from Bigelow Lake. Bigelow Lake is ordinarily a rather dehydrated spot; January is the month that gets the most rain; the driest month is July. This lake is so wonderful. A charming lake like Black Bear Lake in the vicinity of Bigelow Lake is a delightful  
   site to check out, and Bigelow Lake is a great place to camp, Deadman Campground is a great place.
This lake is so wonderful. And that's not all there is to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada. While you're here at Bigelow Lake it's a pleasant idea to explore Grace Meadow; hiking along the Ten Lakes Trail is nice fun. Snowlake Dam is an exciting thing to check out, and get your heart pumping on the good whitewater of West Walker River.
So much enjoyable
 
               stuff in the Central Sierra Nevada, just impressive.
