This is a picture I took of Moose Lake on a lengthy loop hike in the Sequoias taking the Lakes trail past Heather, Astor, Emerald, and Pear Lakes; then cross country over the divide above Moose Lake where I took this photograph looking down on the lake.  I then returned to the trailhead by going southwest over the divide down to the Alta Trail through Panther Gap back to the Lakes trailhead.  A very long day hike.  I took pictures along the entire route.

This lake is so wonderful. But wait, there's more to do near Moose Lake. There are great places to look at along the Sawtooth Pass Trail, and if you have time to spare, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park is a national park worth a visit. And if that's not sufficient there's a heap more entertaining things to do in the Southern Sierra Nevada. The River Inn & Cabins is a good location to get some rest; if you come at the right time of year, Kaweah River - Middle Fork offers some wonderful whitewater.
