SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Sitting at just over 10,000 feet within Sierra National Forest, 4th Recess Lake is a hike-in dispersed camping area managed by the US Forest Service. The elevation means cold water year-round and clear night skies. As the sun drops, the rocky slopes above catch an orange alpine glow. No pets are allowed, and campers must pack everything in and out. Bring layers regardless of season, as temperatures drop sharply after dark at this altitude. Those exploring campgrounds near Sierra National Forest will find this one among the more demanding approaches in the range.
