On a tremendous day at Tamarack Lake you can take a hike along the Atwell Hockett Trail; you can stay the night at Cold Spring Campground. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Kern River, and lakes are such serene places, why not check out Lion

This lake is located in the wonderful Southern Sierra Nevada. This lake is so wonderful. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Tamarack Lake has to offer, you can camp at Atwell Mill Campground, and while you're here you can take a hike along the High Sierra Trail. Get your pulse rate up on the magnificent whitewater of Kaweah River - Middle Fork, and don’t forget to stop by Lone Pine Meadow if you're here at Tamarack Lake.
Don't stop me now, cause I'm havin' a magnificent time here at Tamarack Lake. Don't leave Tamarack Lake without first checking out Lilliput Glacier, and Mount Stewart is stunning and can be seen from here. There's no way anyone can get bored here in the Southern Sierra Nevada. Don't miss out on a tour to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park since you're here at Tamarack Lake, and going for a hike along the Sawtooth Pass Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region.

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....

Leavis Flat - Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
13 miles away
Leavis Flat- I loved it! Small campground, right next to Deer Creek, only 9 sites. You can buy ice and extra necessities just up the road at the California Hot Springs (resort?) No cell phone service, ranger comes by once a day, it's very mellow. You are roughing it unless you bring an RV. No showers or flush toilets. So beautiful. We were there for Memorial Wknd. Some locals said it's usually pretty empty but the campground was full for our trip. I've heard they might shut it down. Maybe it's not bringing in enough cash for the upkeep. I bathed in the creek. My boyfriend wasn't so brave, too cold for him. If you're planning on doing the sights at the Sequoia National Park, it's a two hour drive to Morro Rock to give you an idea. The creek is so pretty and the water is drinkable, not deep enough to swim but perfect to cool off. The mosquitoes weren't too bad and with the right company, it's the perfect setting to get totally away! My boyfriend has all the pics on his phone, but I'll come back and post them....
