Devils Postpile National Monument is quite in the neighborhood of Midway Lake. Around Midway Lake you don’t get a lot of precipitation; all through January this area sees the most rain; June meanwhile is the driest month. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Central Sierra Nevada. Whitewater paddling is great on Kings River  
   - Middle Fork; a pleasant spree to Blackcap Basin is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
This lake is so wonderful. Chapel Lake is a great lake close to Midway Lake; a pleasant place to camp here at Midway Lake is Sabrina Campground. And that's not all you can do here at Midway Lake. The panorama of Finger Peak from Midway Lake is charming; why not take a refreshing hike along the John Muir Trail - Pacific Crest Section. The Central Sierra Nevada scenery is always
 
               beautiful.

Throughout the winter this place gets highs in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 20's to Midway Lake. Midway Lake is glorious enough to spend more than a day at, North Lake Campground is a glorious local campground, and the Sheep Creek Trail offers hiking at its best.

Sabrina Campground
14 miles away
I have such fond memories of family trips to Sabrina and camping just up from the lake on the stream side. Don't know what the campground name was or even if it had a name back in thoes days. It was every summer in 1960's. First went there when I was a baby. My parents packed back in several times. Anyway, my Dad died a few months ago and he always said he wanted to go back before he died. I like to think that he is there somewhere fishing that stream by the campground that we all loved so much. Fond Fond memories....

The only way to drop a kayak in Kings river is a very long drive (maybe 4-5 hours) to the west side or the range, or lugging it through the wilderness (over the spine). I think I would have to give a gold medal to anyone who would lug a kayak from Big Trees to Kings river. Just a heads-up....

Jackass's Meadows Campground
19 miles away
I've been to the campground and it is a great area; however, it is NOT an arid environment as the description says.? It is located at over 7000 feet in a forested area.? In addition, there is NO access to Devils Postpile (or the Mammoth area, as is implied by the lodging links). The campground is located at the end of the road and there is no road pass over the Sierra anywhere in this area. This campground is seasonal and is snowed in completely in the winter. ...

Sierra Summit is located in the Sierra National Forest, just 65 miles northeast of Fresno at Huntington Lake. The resort offers over 1600 feet of vertical serviced by seven chairlifts and 4 surface lifts with terrain to suit all ability levels. There is slopeside lodging at the Sierra Summit Inn with a full service rental and repair shop, sports shop and snowsports school. Sierra Summit has invested heavily in snow making allowing us to offer consistent snow coverage on most runs all winter long. Our snowmaking also allows for an earlier season opening as well as allowing skiing and riding well into April during most seasons. The resort continues to provide the best winter experience at a tremendous value with money-saving options such as the Stay and Play lodging special, $20 high school Sundays, a Learn to Ski and Snowboard Guarantee and a spring season pass special.
