Trip Ideas

Sorry, I should mention we are leaving Sat morning then coming home Sunday afternoon, so 5-10 miles in and 5-10 miles out is fine.

Then you are quite close to Dinkey Lakes, Jennie Lake, and SEKI…all of which offer wonderful backpacking trips of the type you are seeking. We have some on our website…but really, you live in an ideal location for these!

I took a look at the site, excellent resource we recently did the Dinkey Lakes )Mystery Lake/Swede Lake) but I didn't like the drive; the last 21 miles of that is slow rough terrain. Do you have any destinations that are easier to get to, any suggestions?

I am not sure if the area burned up but Twin Lakes is a great short hike (I think the first lake is 4 miles) it starts at Badger Flats Camp ground just above Huntington lake lake. I took my dad here last year and he had a great time. call the ranger station in Prather and check it out. If it did not burn I plan on taking my 8 year old next year after the thaw

"it starts at Badger Flats Camp ground just above Shaver lake."

Actually, it is above Huntington Lake.
