Rosalie Lake is located directly on the John Muir Trail and in winter conditions – that can last up until July depending on the snow level – can only be reached by climbing over snowfields. Ice axe and crampons are highly recommended in these conditions. If you are finally up here, the landscape is just breathtaking. You will find nice campspots along the northern shore. The lake is home to trouts, so if you like, bring a fishing rod.
