Crest Section; get yourself into a kayak and hit Kings River - Middle Fork. Devils Postpile National Monument is a very tremendous site to go to right next door to Blanc Lake, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Kings
River Trail. If you get bored of Blanc Lake, you could also pop by nearby Roget Lake, and soar down the rapids of San Joaquin River - South Fork in a kayak. This lake is so wonderful. A splendid place like Humphreys Basin here at
Blanc Lake is too great to miss. So many entertaining things to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada, too glorious to be true. Blanc Lake is not the only place nearby, Lorraine Lake is a nearby lake, and why not camp at North Lake Campground while you're here at Blanc Lake.

Sabrina Campground
 | I have such fond memories of family trips to Sabrina and camping just up from the lake on the stream side. Don't know what the campground name was or even if it had a name back in thoes days. It was every summer in 1960's. First went there when I was a baby. My parents packed back in several times. Anyway, my Dad died a few months ago and he always said he wanted to go back before he died. I like to think that he is there somewhere fishing that stream by the campground that we all loved so much. Fond Fond memories.... |
Big Trees Campground

Jackass's Meadows Campground
 | 16 miles away I've been to the campground and it is a great area; however, it is NOT an arid environment as the description says.? It is located at over 7000 feet in a forested area.? In addition, there is NO access to Devils Postpile (or the Mammoth area, as is implied by the lodging links). The campground is located at the end of the road and there is no road pass over the Sierra anywhere in this area. This campground is seasonal and is snowed in completely in the winter. ... |
