That right there is heaps of cool stuff already but it goes on, the Central Sierra Nevada has it all. Nearby lakes? Sure, Townsley Lake is close to Hanging Basket Lake, and there's good hiking along the John Muir Trail - section 1. A tour to Tuolumne Pass is always fun, and if you need a place to stay The Ahwahnee is a fine choice.
Now, you may imagine that's loads but there's even more exciting stuff to do here at Hanging Basket Lake. You're perhaps keen on lakes, Upper Fletcher Lake is one of those close by, and get drenched paddling on Yosemite Creek. From a rainfall point of view Hanging Basket Lake is a rather typical site; during January this area sees the most rain, and July meanwhile is the driest month.
