Spotted Lakes
 | 18 miles away My family and I horse packed into Spotted lakes years ago. Can you still go in by horse? If so can someone give me a name of a company that does that. Thanks...You can't see Gale Peak from Spotted Lakes, Red Top and Sing Peak dominate the views and you must cross-country over to Chain Lakes if you want to see Gale Peak. All peaks are great day hikes that provide fantastic view of the Ansel Adams Wilderness as well as the east side of the Ritter Range. The trail to Spotted Lakes is faint and difficult to find and also difficult to stay on even if found ... that's what makes it a great place to go, few people can find it and it has a unique beauty being an atypical lake, i.e. not round or oblong but actually a series of canals connected by wider ''lake'' sections. Great rocks for diving and sunning yourself, rock climbing too.... |

Hope you all have fun up there!... |
