It's always fun to stop by Lukens Lake. Lukens Lake is a wet site that gets much rain; most of the rain falls during January while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. And that's not all you can do here at Lukens Lake. Don’t forget to go to Dark Hole while you're here at Lukens Lake, and soar down the rapids of Yosemite Creek in a kayak. So many entertaining things to do in the Central Sierra Nevada, not enough time. The Ahwahnee is a nice

High Emigrant Lake
 | 19 miles away 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!... |
