    If you like lakes and you're in this part of California you can check out Emerald Lake. All year is a great time in the Southern Sierra Nevada if you go for the outdoors. Going for a hike on the Hockett Meadows Trail is always a tremendous adventure; don't leave Emerald Lake without first paying a visit to Tokopah Falls. Near Emerald Lake you discover the Atwell Hockett Trail which is a tremendous hiking trail, and there are other places here than Emerald Lake, for  
   example Pear Lake. This lake is so wonderful. A nice nearby hotel is Comfort Inn At Sequoia National Park, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Kaweah River.
Emerald Lake gets a typical amount of precipitation; all through January this area sees the most rain, and July is the month with the least moisture. Lakes? Sure, Aster Lake is close at hand, and if you're looking for some flowing water? Try Horse Creek. Yeah,
 
               come here to Emerald Lake for a glorious time. You'll meet a lot of people from Visalia-Porterville here.
This lake is so wonderful. The High Sierra Trail is a delightful hiking trail in the vicinity of Emerald Lake, and Log Bridge Campground is a brilliant campground nearby. So many amusing things to do here in the Southern Sierra Nevada, too good to be true. Alta Peak can be made out from Emerald Lake; a cool spot to go to is Tharps Rock. Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park is a great place close to Emerald Lake, and there are some glorious whitewater spots on Kaweah River - Middle Fork.
So many entertaining things to do here at Emerald Lake, too fine to be true. Stay the night at Aspen Hollow - Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park; Alta Meadow is a stunning spot any time of year.

Moose Lake
This is a picture I took of Moose Lake on a lengthy loop hike in the Sequoias taking the Lakes trail past Heather, Astor, Emerald, and Pear Lakes; then cross country over the divide above Moose Lake where I took this photograph looking down on the lake. I then returned to the trailhead by going southwest over the divide down to the Alta Trail through Panther Gap back to the Lakes trailhead. A very long day hike. I took pictures along the entire route....

Leavis Flat - Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
Leavis Flat- I loved it! Small campground, right next to Deer Creek, only 9 sites. You can buy ice and extra necessities just up the road at the California Hot Springs (resort?) No cell phone service, ranger comes by once a day, it's very mellow. You are roughing it unless you bring an RV. No showers or flush toilets. So beautiful. We were there for Memorial Wknd. Some locals said it's usually pretty empty but the campground was full for our trip. I've heard they might shut it down. Maybe it's not bringing in enough cash for the upkeep. I bathed in the creek. My boyfriend wasn't so brave, too cold for him. If you're planning on doing the sights at the Sequoia National Park, it's a two hour drive to Morro Rock to give you an idea. The creek is so pretty and the water is drinkable, not deep enough to swim but perfect to cool off. The mosquitoes weren't too bad and with the right company, it's the perfect setting to get totally away! My boyfriend has all the pics on his phone, but I'll come back and post them....
