Nancy from san diego:
My family and I horse packed into Spotted lakes years ago. Can you still go in by horse? If so can someone give me a name of a company that does that. Thanks
Jim:
You can't see Gale Peak from Spotted Lakes, Red Top and Sing Peak dominate the views and you must cross-country over to Chain Lakes if you want to see Gale Peak. All peaks are great day hikes that provide fantastic view of the Ansel Adams Wilderness as well as the east side of the Ritter Range. The trail to Spotted Lakes is faint and difficult to find and also difficult to stay on even if found ... that's what makes it a great place to go, few people can find it and it has a unique beauty being an atypical lake, i.e. not round or oblong but actually a series of canals connected by wider ''lake'' sections. Great rocks for diving and sunning yourself, rock climbing too.

Spotted Lakes is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. This lake is so wonderful. A pleasant tour to Brophy Meadow is a magnificent way to spend an afternoon, and if you came to camp Bowler Group Campground is a great location to do that. Really magnificent skiing awaits you at Badger Pass. Man, is there heaps of enjoyable things to do in the Central Sierra Nevada. Whitewater paddling is nice on Willow Creek. There's so much to do here

| | at Spotted Lakes that you need to camp here for a while, Upper Chiquito Campground is a good site for that.
This is such a fun lake. If you need a location to stay The Ahwahnee is a splendid choice, and a lake nearby is Jackass Lakes. So many fun things to do at Spotted Lakes, so little time. Go for a hike on the Clouds Rest Trail, and if you don't mind getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Merced River - South Fork. Spotted Lakes is located | |

in the Central Sierra Nevada.
From Spotted Lakes you get a delightful panorama of Gale Peak, and going for a hike on the Mono Meadow Trail is always a great adventure.; January is when you get the most rain here, and the driest
of the months is July. So many amusing things to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada, too brilliant to be true. Good hiking is available along the Half Dome Trail, and if you have the time, Yosemite National Park is a national park
worth stopping at.
Summertime brings highs in the 80's to Spotted Lakes. Through the moonlight hours it's ordinarily in the 50's. Highs through the wintertime are regularly in the 40's; after the sun is down during the wintertime
