     For the duration of the warm months at Crater Lake highs are ordinarily in the 70's with night lows in the 40's. During the winter highs are in the 40's, and after the sun is down through the wintertime temperatures at Crater Lake descend into the 20's. And if that's not enough there's a heap more cool stuff to do in the Central Sierra Nevada. Have a fine hiking adventure along the Sherwin Lakes Trail; do take a hike on the Red Mountain Trail. Florence Lake  
   Campground is a splendid local campground, and San Joaquin River - South Fork is a wonderful whitewater spot nearby.

               paddling on Mono Creek.
Just can't get enough of the Central Sierra Nevada. You'll discover a wonderful lake called Dutch Lake near Crater Lake, and a journey to Dutch Oven Meadow rejuvenates the soul. Here at Crater Lake you can distinguish Mount Ian Campbell, and dry warm beds await you at Snowcreek Resort. Crater Lake is a good place of normal rainfall; during January this area sees the most rain while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation.
This lake is so wonderful. Ward Lake Campground is a delightful campground nearby, and striking scenery and splendid skiing is what you get at Sierra Summit.

Jackass's Meadows Campground
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
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....

Bear Twin Lakes
10 miles away

3 PHOTOS
Sierra Summit is located in the Sierra National Forest, just 65 miles northeast of Fresno at Huntington Lake. The resort offers over 1600 feet of vertical serviced by seven chairlifts and 4 surface lifts with terrain to suit all ability levels. There is slopeside lodging at the Sierra Summit Inn with a full service rental and repair shop, sports shop and snowsports school. Sierra Summit has invested heavily in snow making allowing us to offer consistent snow coverage on most runs all winter long. Our snowmaking also allows for an earlier season opening as well as allowing skiing and riding well into April during most seasons. The resort continues to provide the best winter experience at a tremendous value with money-saving options such as the Stay and Play lodging special, $20 high school Sundays, a Learn to Ski and Snowboard Guarantee and a spring season pass special.
