Hilton Creek Lakes are six lakes in Mount Huntington basin, each one with its own beauty. The hike to the lakes is precious, passing by Lodgepine and Aspen forest (this is a popular hike to see autumn colors), with plenty of wildflowers during summer. The second lake is often chosen for camping, and the third has idyllic views of Mt. Huntington and Mt. Stanford. This is a perfect moderate day hike in the Sierra, which is not very popular, and you can pick a lake for yourself to enjoy some solitude. It requires a wilderness permit for camping, for more information see: fs.usda.gov/recarea/inyo/recreation/recarea/?recid=20402&actid=50
