This is up in the Sierras and part of the Pacific Crest Trail. We've been here many times and have backpacked on this same trail. It's a beautiful spot and because it's up in the mountains, it's cooler than the valley floor. Summer hiking has officially started!
We just came back from our first backpacking trip in years. Just 3/4 mile in; perfect for a 5-year-old. At Independence Lake we had a snowball fight and went swimming!
