This lake is so wonderful. Crooked Lakes is right by the Round Lake Trail,
 
   and camping at Grouse Ridge Campground is always a perfect experience. There's no way anybody can get bored here in the Northern Sierra Nevada. If you come at the right time of year, Yuba River - South Fork offers some pleasant whitewater; do take a hike on the Bowman Mountain Trail. That right there is loads already, but it goes on; Crooked Lakes has it all. Lakes are wonderful; Penner Lake is a lake that's near Crooked Lakes, and Soda Springs is a wonderful local  
               ski area.

So much amusing stuff to do in the Northern Sierra Nevada, not enough time. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Crooked Lakes Trail, and Bowman Mountain is scenic and can be distinguished from here. Float down the rapids of Fordyce Creek in a kayak, and the skiing at Royal Gorge is nice.
