Backcountry High Sierra Lake

Stayed here 2 nights while hiking to Mono pass and Summit Lake. Hike in about 4 miles to lakeside campsites. Wasn't too busy, some dayhikers, but not too many camping overnight. Nice peaceful trip to take in the Sierras. Can detour to the more popular Little Lakes Valley, near the trailhead, though just remember it's a bit of a descent you will have to hike back up out of. Need to get backcountry permits to camp in this area.
