Have a great hiking adventure along the Don Cecil Trail, and do set aside some time for Lower Box since you're here at Chimney Lake. Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting things in the Central Sierra Nevada. Lakes are magnificent; Marsh Lake is a lake that's next to Chimney Lake, and hiking along the Sheep Creek Trail is glorious fun. This lake is so wonderful.

the month of January you get the most rain around here, and the driest month of the year is July. Chimney Lake is located in the Central Sierra Nevada. All year is a delightful time in the Central Sierra Nevada if you fancy the
outdoors. Voyager Rock Campground is a tremendous local campground; Indian Springs is a striking spot to stop at while you're at Chimney Lake. Going for a hike along the Red Mountain Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of
this region; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Kings River - Middle Fork. Summertime highs at Chimney Lake commonly tend to be in the 70's; during summer nights temperatures are in

Jackass's Meadows Campground
 | 14 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. ... |
Rainbow Lake
 | 15 miles away Rainbow lake, as well as numerous other lakes in the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness Area are well worth the moderate effort it takes to visit. Rainbow lake itself is cupped between a low granite ridge and a steeper, curving granite wall. It is a beautifully clear lake populated with large numbers of rainbow trout which I assume gave it the name. Information, registration, and restrictions can all be obtained at the Ranger station located in the town of Prather. We camp at this lake at least twice a year, and it is always one of my favorites.... |
