This lake
 
               is so wonderful. Long Valley is a wonderful site; if you're here, you could also go to pretty Cole Creek Lakes. Dry warm beds await you at Meadowstone, and going for a hike on the Emigrant Trail is always a wonderful adventure. All the water falling down from the sky makes Mosquito Lake a wet spot; January is when you get the most snow here while July is frequently the driest month.
If you want a brilliant time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Northern Sierra Nevada. Do check out Pardoe Lake near Mosquito Lake, it's a delightful lake, and glide down the rapids of Mokelumne River - North Fork in a kayak. Head up to Kirkwood and strap some skis to your feet, and there are brilliant places to explore along the Hawley Grade Trail.
