     So much cool stuff in the Central Sierra Nevada, just tremendous. Mammoth Mountain is a very popular ski area close by, and close by you hit upon the Mammoth Rock Trail which is a pleasant hiking trail. Dutch Lake is a nearby lake that you could have a look at, and San Joaquin River - South Fork is a delightful whitewater spot nearby. And that's not everything you can do here in the Central Sierra Nevada. The Red Mountain Trail is a nice hiking trail next to  
   Ward Lake, and do visit Florence Lake, it's a charming lake.
This lake is so wonderful. A pleasant spree to Hell Hole Meadow is a nice way to spend an afternoon, and at Ward Lake you can spot Jackass Dike. There's just no way anybody can get bored here at Ward Lake. Hit the slopes at Sierra Summit in close proximity, and Florence Lake Campground is a good campground nearby. There is a pleasant hiking trail close to Ward Lake called the Sherwin Lakes Trail;
 
               in the event that you don't mind getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Mono Creek.

MORE STUFF NEARBY:

Jackass's Meadows Campground
I've been to the campground and it is a great area; however, it is NOT an arid environment as the description says.? It is located at over 7000 feet in a forested area.? In addition, there is NO access to Devils Postpile (or the Mammoth area, as is implied by the lodging links). The campground is located at the end of the road and there is no road pass over the Sierra anywhere in this area. This campground is seasonal and is snowed in completely in the winter. ...

Bear Twin Lakes
Great place to visit! A must see for all families and tourists! The awe and marvel at the beauty of the lake is indescribable! My family had an awsome experience and Joey, Anisa, and Diana ( my children) all would love to go back!  Bear Twin Lakes is not a place to miss! Just watch out for the occasional black bear!...

Rainbow Lake
10 miles away
Rainbow lake, as well as numerous other lakes in the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness Area are well worth the moderate effort it takes to visit. Rainbow lake itself is cupped between a low granite ridge and a steeper, curving granite wall. It is a beautifully clear lake populated with large numbers of rainbow trout which I assume gave it the name. Information, registration, and restrictions can all be obtained at the Ranger station located in the town of Prather. We camp at this lake at least twice a year, and it is always one of my favorites....

Sierra Summit

3 PHOTOS
Sierra Summit is located in the Sierra National Forest, just 65 miles northeast of Fresno at Huntington Lake. The resort offers over 1600 feet of vertical serviced by seven chairlifts and 4 surface lifts with terrain to suit all ability levels. There is slopeside lodging at the Sierra Summit Inn with a full service rental and repair shop, sports shop and snowsports school. Sierra Summit has invested heavily in snow making allowing us to offer consistent snow coverage on most runs all winter long. Our snowmaking also allows for an earlier season opening as well as allowing skiing and riding well into April during most seasons. The resort continues to provide the best winter experience at a tremendous value with money-saving options such as the Stay and Play lodging special, $20 high school Sundays, a Learn to Ski and Snowboard Guarantee and a spring season pass special.
