just striking. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always go to nearby Gravel Pit Lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Cherry Creek - West Fork. This lake is so wonderful.
There are some glorious whitewater spots on Tuolumne River - South Fork, and after a long day outdoors Yosemite Lodge at the Falls is a fine site to spend a night or two. A day on the slopes of Badger Pass is just what you need, and
the beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Preston Falls. Summertime highs at Birch Lake generally tend to be in the 80's. Once the sun is down it falls down to the 50's. Through the winter highs are in the 40's, and all through the dark hours in the winter at Birch Lake temperatures dip to the 20's.
