Lakes Trail To Watchtower - On the way to Heather Lake

Lakes Trail To Watchtower

5.0(2 reviews)
1.3 km

Not being a serious hiker, I was pretty intimidated by the concept of doing a long, somewhat steep…read morehike like the Lakes Trail. But I wanted the views and the challenge and knew that I could always stop or turn around, so I agreed to go for it - and boy am I glad that I did! It was nice that the trail itself was not very busy because it was a weekday, but we did see maybe 5 other groups of people hiking. It did stress me out a bit since I'm slow and had to let people pass me, but I had to get over that and it was only a few people so it was not a big deal. I wouldn't say that the trail is too crazy challenging (7 miles each way and 3,759 elevation gain). It's somewhat of a constant incline the entire way up but nothing that I couldn't handle if I went at my nice, slow (~30 minute a mile) pace. We did this on the third day of our trip, so fortunately I didn't have to battle altitude (headaches and nausea) the same way that I had to the first two days. I also drank close to 4 liters of water, which is definitely double what most people probably need for this hike. The views are nothing short of stunning. The watchtower is unreal, and the view of Heather Lake is unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Definitely worth it! For the serious hiker, this is probably pretty easy (there was a guy doing it in sandals who went right by us, got to the end of the trail, turned around and came back before we even got to the end of it) but still very satisfying. Highly recommend!

This hike is stunning. We started off from Lodgepole campground spent a few miles climbing through…read morethe forest. It is a strenuous hike but when you get to the treeline you are at the Watchtower which is a massive rock face above a sheer drop into a valley. You then can take a trail along the edge of the cliff to several alpine lakes. We went to heather lake - you can swim and chill out there or hike on to two more lakes. We only went to the first one and then headed back- we were pretty wiped. It's a long day but so worth it.

Visited the General Sherman Tree at Sequoia National Park and overall it was a good experience, but…read morethere are definitely a few things to be aware of. The tree itself is truly impressive and worth seeing at least once--it's amazing to stand in front of something that massive and historic. That said, expect large crowds and long lines, especially during peak times. It can take a while just to get close enough for photos. Parking was also a challenge during our visit. Spots fill up quickly, so you may need to circle around or wait. We started from the top parking lot, and while going down is manageable, the hike back up is pretty exhausting, so be prepared for that. One downside was the restroom condition--they were quite dirty and looked like they hadn't been maintained well that day. Also, just a heads-up: not everyone we encountered was friendly, so patience helps in crowded areas. Despite these issues, it was still a memorable visit. Just plan ahead, bring water, and be ready for a bit of a workout.

If you haven't seen the largest tree(s) on earth, you are missing out, get your hiking boots on…read morecome witness some of the most beautiful trees and landscape to be found. Parking can be a beyotch, especially when the main lot is closed, but stay patient and people are coming and going constantly, but whatever you do... DO NOT PARK on the road itself. Don't do it. You can do small short hikes around the grove or during winter you can strap on some snow shoes, or crampons, based on conditions, and you can get further out into the grove or park itself. I just be prepared for whatever you're planning on doing that will guarantee you have a successful outing

Marble Falls , Sequoia National Park…read more First time I did this 5 years ago it was breathtaking gorgeous. Misty , foggy , a bit dark in lush green rainforest like tropical jungle. Second time was like that also. Third time today (04.10.22) not so rainforests - like due to burns. Really sad. Almost the entire place was affected by the fires. Looked completely different from last two times I did this hike. Nevertheless the water was raging at the falls. Some sketchy areas on the trail due to washouts. Sad to see graffiti on some boulders ( they weren't there 4,5 years ago). Tons of native species like Mariposa Lilies , Ithuriel's Spears, Pink Fairy Lanterns, a few blooming Yuccas , birds eyes gills, popcorn flowers, fiddlenecks, Madia , Chinese Houses , Tritelea, California Goldfields, Brodiaea, baby blue eyes etc. First time I did this 5 years ago and second time 4 years ago , my hiking buddies and I did not see a single other hiker but today tons , too many to count. It's too crowded now. Because of the burns and the crowd , 4 stars otherwise if this was 5 years ago definitely 10 stars.

Not a difficult hike, and pretty close to the main entrance of Sequoia National Park. You have to…read morego through the Potwisha campgrounds and park your car at a small parking lot. You start by following an aqueduct and then at a sign, you turn right and start going up. It is a moderate distance, 3.5 miles to get there. The views are breathtaking and you have a waterfall reward at the end. Which actually may vary if in the dry season. Alternative: If you don't want to hike that long and still want to see a nice amount of water, instead of going left on Powisha Campgrounds, go right and park at this little construction site. Follow a small trail, that will lead you to a bridge. Before you reach the bridge, will see to your left ancient paintings and if you keep an eye on the grounds around the bridge, you will see holes in the granite (mortars) that were made by local tribes to grind nuts. We were advised not to go too far past the bridge because it "gets snaky". We didn't see any rattlesnakes, but kept close to the bridge, which was gorgeous with a swimming hole and a little private beach.

Lengt:h 7.2 Total Miles…read more Elevation Gain: 2,100 feet Trail Type: Out-and-back Skill Level: DIFFICULT Duration: Backpack or day hike Season: Best July through September Trailhead Elevation: 7,900 feet Top Elevation: 10,000 feet In September, this sun-exposed trail was lined with a scattering of Indians Paintbrush, a sampling of the fuller wildflower bouquet, which blooms on these slopes in the spring. After 1 mile, turn right at the White Chief Trail junction. The Eagle Lake Trail shifts in style from a straight track to a series of switchbacks that chew into the elevation. At the junction with the Mosquito Lakes Trail, turn left and set your sites on Eagle Lake, 1.7 miles away. Alternatively, hikers could turn right here and hike the same distance to the lowest of four Mosquito Lakes located one ridge west of Eagle Lake. The ascent tapers as you follow Eagle Creek to its source, passing a pair of unique "sink holes" where the water disappear underground into strange craters. Pass through a wooded meadow and dissect an alpine bounder field. The trail mounts a rock slope beneath Eagle Lake and offers fine northeast views toward Sawtooth and Mineral Peaks. The route to this lake follows the same trail for the first 2 miles, ascending steadily up the west side of the Mineral King Valley. The trail ends at the north end of Eagle Lake, where a small dam, maintained by Southern California Edison, enhances the volume of the lake. A path continues through the trees along the eastern shoreline. Large rocks act as islands in the lake, which gets more picturesque the further you walk.

We just went to Eagle Lake for an overnight camping trip. It's mid-August…read more We first stopped at the ranger station to get some information about the trail. That's where we rented bear can for our food. The rangers were really nice and knowledgeable. We pay $15 for camping permit and $5 for bear can rental fee. It was 4 of us and our 2 year old son. We started hike just OK, but it's ALL UPHILL till the lake. Our son did great, covered good mileage, but of course we ended up carrying him later. If you are going with little kids, it's best to have proper carriage because the terrain gets pretty rocky and steep. It's best if you have both hands free to climb up there. Hiking sticks strongly recommended. It is one of the hardest back-country camping trip, but it was rewarding! The meadows were so beautiful, saw wild life, and the sense of accomplishment was priceless!
