    At 9k ft elevation, you are taxed when you hike to Lake George or Mary from the Lower Twin Lake. My…read morebro and I left Doc & Al's campground at 5am with our head lamps on full and two back packs partially full in case we ran into an emergency along the way. Like we spotted a bear on the way but I had an air horn and Bear Spray. I was in better shape than bro at the time so I took on some of his pack. Both of us were struggling at the end. But what a sight to see. Proof that God knew how to paint. The lake was incredibly still and crystal clear. I could see schools of what I believe were trout. So we set up chairs and I made a rock stove near the shore and 15 min later I had boiling water for coco. Bro wanted to nap. So we unrolled the air beds and bro was out in 5 minutes. I went to bed early the night before. Soon the lack of air tired me too and I got an hour as well. I woke to see bro using mosquito flies and he already caught a nice brook trout. They were small but of perfect health. We each only caught 2 so we ate them right away. After, I boiled two more pans of lake water to fill our canteens. That water tasted purified. It took us 5 hours to hike up to Lake George so we headed back to camp at 1. We were smart enough to wear hiking boots and thick socks so our feet were good. We pulled into camp around 5:30 pm. The following day we realized that we are not cut out for the wild.

    Our favorite of the Mammoth lakes, but all of them are amazing. Will definitely be back and camp…read moreagain!

    The first time I visited HorseShoe Lake, the lot was packed, and the hike was no joke! I was out of…read moreshape, and there was still a lot of snow on the trail in July! It was tough. My cousin even had a close call when he accidentally slid off the trail, ran down 100 feet, and narrowly missed hitting trees. (Slipper snow) Despite the challenges, the reward at the top was well worth it. It was a beautiful, secluded lake. Some of us tried a little fishing, while the girls jumped into the freezing cold water for a swim. The water was so "pristine" that my hair felt conditioned afterward. It was magnificent, the water felt untouched and almost holy! This past summer, we hiked it again for the 4th of July, and it was so much easier because I had lost 20 pounds, haha! I'd say the hike is about 13 minutes up, around 2 miles round trip, and great for all ages. Just make sure you're in decent shape and don't have any serious health concerns. When I was 20 pounds heavier, the hike felt like a 10/10 in difficulty. Now, it's more like a 3/10, a total breeze!

    When you arrive, you see a bunch of dead tree and the waterline really low. Your first impression…read moreis "huh. But as you walk around the lake, you're surrounded by beautiful lush green pines. Small quaint bridges over stream beds. The wind in the trees with a beautiful view of the lake and its surroundings. It's a very easy straight walk. Highly recommend
