Sierra Nevada. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this place. Take a hike on the Burnside Lake Trail; Grass Lake is a great place to visit for more than one day, Kit Carson Campground is a great place to camp nearby. From a rainfall
point of view Grass Lake is a quite common spot; the wettest month of the year is frequently January, that's the one that snows the most while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. This lake is so wonderful. Get
yourself into a kayak and hit Mokelumne River - North Fork, and since you're here you will meet lots of people from nearby Gardnerville Ranchos. Free Meadows is a tremendous place, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go
skiing at Kirkwood while you're here. Having a great time in the Northern Sierra Nevada is trouble-free. If you desire a little side visit, try Luther Pass, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Charity Valley Trail. Grass
Lake is not the only location nearby, Scotts Lake is a nearby lake, and Alpine Campground is a fine local campground. A glorious close by hotel is Harvest Inn-St Helena, Napa Valley, and here at Grass Lake you can make out Thompson Peak. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
