The peak
 
               of Devils Peak can be observed from Long Lake, and don't leave Long Lake without first going for a hike along the Loon Lake Trail. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a place to stay Squaw Valley Lodge is a good choice, and Silver Creek - South Fork has a good whitewater paddling spot nearby. Life's too short to enjoy all the enjoyable stuff in the Northern Sierra Nevada.

Really tremendous skiing awaits you at Alpine Meadows; a lake close by is Mud Lake.
