at Rock Lake are in the 20's. At Rock Lake you can make out Bowman Mountain, and you can stay the night at Jackson Creek Campground. You imagine that's sufficient? Just getting warmed up. After a long day outdoors Chalet View
Lodge is a delightful spot to spend a night or two, and a great spot nearby is Poison Canyon. Gotta ski! Soda Springs is a magnificent site to do that; there's some flowing water nearby, Jackson Creek is a stream you can have a look
at during your stay. You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the cool things in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Go for a hike on the Crooked Lakes Trail, and a nice site for whitewater paddling is Yuba River - South
Fork. From a rainfall point of view Rock Lake is a quite normal site; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain, and July is the month with the least moisture. That right there is a heap of fun stuff already but it
goes on, the Northern Sierra Nevada has it all. The slopes of Royal Gorge are so inviting nobody can resist, and you're almost certainly interested in lakes, Rock Lake is one of those close by.
