     This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Moraine Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Cold Spring Campground is a delightful spot for that, and Kern River has a fine whitewater paddling spot nearby. High temperatures at Moraine Lake all through the days of summer are in the 70's. For the duration of the moonlight hours it's mostly in the 50's. Through the winter highs are in the 40's; night lows at Moraine Lake throughout the winter ordinarily  
   drop into the 20's.
This lake is so wonderful. Good hiking is available along the Hockett Meadows Trail, and why not a little side journey to Lost Canyon Creek. An average amount of precipitation falls at Moraine Lake; most of the rain falls during January; the driest month is July. Now, you may feel that's a lot but there's even more entertaining stuff to do here in the Southern Sierra Nevada. Go for a hike on the Sawtooth Pass Trail, and Lost Canyon is
 
               a great place to spend some time.
Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! The Southern Sierra Nevada is unbeatable! Do set aside some time for Chagoopa Plateau if you're here at Moraine Lake, and Big Five Lakes is a nearby lake that you could visit. This place, Moraine Lake, it truly has so much outdoors fun stuff. If you came to camp Willow Meadows Campground is a wonderful spot to do that, and do stop at Forester Lake, it's a delightful lake. Moraine Lake is located in the Southern Sierra Nevada.
Don't leave Moraine Lake without first going for a hike along the Mount Whitney Trail, and after a long day outdoors Comfort Inn Lone Pine is a nice site to spend a night or two.

Moose Lake

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....
