    If you are in this part of California make sure to pay a visit to West Lake. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Central Sierra Nevada. Skiing at Sierra Summit is one of those things you just should do; if the weather is pretty, you obtain a perfect sight of Chinese Peak from West Lake. This is no spot for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. Have a great hiking adventure along the Deep Creek Trail, and a scenic lake like Mirror Lake is a glorious spot  
   to stop by. The Central Sierra Nevada scenery is always beautiful.
This lake is so wonderful. You'll come across a pretty lake called Strawberry Lake near West Lake, and Kokanee Campground is a great campground nearby. West Lake gets a common amount of yearly rain; January is when you get the most rain here while July is commonly the driest month. All the outdoors entertaining things in the Central Sierra Nevada will keep you coming back repeatedly. While
 
               you're here at West Lake you can take a hike along the Bobs Flat Trail.
Take a hike on the Red Mountain Trail, and West Lake is a fine spot to visit for more than one day, College Campground is a fine spot to camp nearby. Summer at West Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 70's, and through the night it cools down to the 40's. High temperatures through the winter are normally in the 40's, and throughout the dark hours in the winter at West Lake temperatures descend to the 20's. If you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Dinkey Creek, and after a long day outdoors Snowcreek Resort is a splendid place to spend a night or two.

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. Visit www.sierrasummit.com for details....

Rainbow Lake
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....

Jackass's Meadows Campground
12 miles away
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. ...

Mammoth Pool Reservoir
14 miles away
Too windy. Lake level drops significantly starting in July with severe hazards. Don't waste your time....Myself and my brother have been camping at Wagners Campground at Mammoth Pool Reservoirs since the 70's.  We grew up every summer here and now we have our families and friends that join us every summer.  Its a beautiful, peaceful and fun place to raise your kids on camping.  Boating is great on the lake since you can sneak in some great water for catching some BIG AIR!  with no one on the lake but maybe 1-2 boats.  Its a great place to have your kids learn all the water sports, you don't have to worry about other boaters trying to run them over!!!!! as most lakes are!!!  SEE YA THERE!!!...

Kirch Flat Campground
