What is not to love about Wright's Lake: alpine lakes, granite ridge views, hiking trails galore, quiet campsites? This is truly one of our favorite places and we choose to end our "camping season" up in the Sierras. Lucky for us the air quality was great (no Rim Fire smoke as in the previous weeks) and by the season's end, the campground was mostly empty (except weekends).
We hiked and hiked: Twin Lakes, Island Lake, Gertrude Lake, Lyons Lake, Beauty Lake, Dark Lake and of course, Wright's Lake. The days were sunny and warm; the nights cool and getting cooker!
We left as the first winter storm of the season rolled in leaving a snow dusting on the highest peak.
