High Emigrant Lake
| 1 PHOTO I went and was swarmed by literally thousands of mosquitoes.... High Emigrant Lake and the surrounding area is the most beautiful place I believe I have ever visited. I went in late July and there were still snow patches on the mountains. I swam in the lake and it was FREEZING, but refreshing as we stopped by the lake on day 3 out of 7 on our backpacking trip. It is difficult to get to this lake, but it is worth it. I will go back one day. I would live there if I could. The surrounding lakes are nice too. Its a very calming atmosphere on a nice day and there are basically no mosquitoes which is a BIG plus! It is a beautiful place. Go there!... |
Leavitt Lake
| I went to Leavitt lake just yester day beautiful lake we caught about 10 fish all rainbows but one brook...I spent many a fishing trip at Leavitt Lake. Once everyone got over altitude sickness the fishing was great. Water and the sky clear and blue. Walked in one late winter. It was a challange but worth the adventure. The kids never failed to catch limits and we all enjoyed sharing with the few people who ventured up the hill to fish. Even saw a bear or two off and on. I will have to dig out some pictures and post them.......lightweight car topper. No launching, by hand only. Absolutely gorgeous country. Don't forget to pack the camera. Pacific Crest Trail access nearby, so plenty of hiking available. Didn't see any bears or much wildlife to speak of...nice & quiet & pristine. A real getaway from it all. I haven't yet, but hope to do eventual hikes to surrounding areas. Should have access & prime vistas of the Emigrant Wilderness back country via the PCT on the western edge of the crest. Call ahead to the Bridgeport Ranger Station to make sure the road in is open. With all the snow we had this past season the latest I heard would be late July at the earliest. About a 3+ mile ride in from Hwy. 108. Take your time, plenty of ruts in the road. I have pictures if this site would like to accomodate such. My email address for more info: fishsur5l@yahoo.com Enjoy & happy trails!! ---Dave Submitted on 7/11/06. Thank you for providing this great site & the opportunity to submit entries. Best of success towards growth and a great info... |

Badger Pass
 | 28 miles away Badger Pass is the perfect place to learn to ski or snowboard. It has a really long bunny slope, and all the other trails are pretty easy too. The problem is that once you know how to ski without a V-shape thingy the place has little to offer. The staff is very friendly though.... |
