the Chilnualna Fall Trail. There's so much to do here at Crescent Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Fresno Dome Campground is a good location for that. All the water falling down from the sky makes Crescent Lake a wet spot;
through the month of January you get the most rain around here; the driest of the months is July. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is great on Merced River - South Fork, and don't leave Crescent Lake without first
going for a hike along the Mono Meadow Trail. Crescent Lake is located in the Central Sierra Nevada. Badger Pass is a very popular ski area close at hand, and dry warm beds await you at dnc -- Wawona Hotel. Get drenched paddling
on Big Creek. And that's not all you can do here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by close by Grouse Lake; if you need a place to stay Yosemite Lodge at the Falls is a magnificent choice.
