The Golden Canyon Trail is a popular path that leads to Red Cathedral. The path is lined with beautiful, colorful rock formations.

Box Lake is one of several lakes along the Little Lakes Valley Trail. The lake is accessible from the trail, so it is a good place to enjoy a break right on the bank of the lake.

Heart Lake is one of the more popular lakes along the Little Lakes Valley Trail. The trail up to the lake is not too challenging and passes several old gold mines.

The pictures taken from this small rocky outcrop above Second Lake, marked here by a tentsite symbol, are ICONIC. If the pictures above look familiar, that’s because… well.. they are! Temple Crag from across Second Lake is one of the most frequently photographed “scenes” of the Eastern Sierras. Just a quick search on the internet of “Big Pine Lakes” will pull up countless pictures almost identical to each other of this exact lake/peak combo. (Seriously, try it 😂) And honestly, it’s easy to understand why! The setting is otherwordly!

FIRST Lake is, ironically, the LAST place for this water to rest before heading down through Big Pine Valley as the North Fork Big Pine Creek and entering, as a tributary, the Owens River 6,000ft below! To the east you are offered a lovely view to Mount Alice, while to the south Temple Crag commands your attention! The water in First Lake, as well as the ither Big Pine Lakes, often can be seen with a beautiful teal hue, caused by the refraction of sunlight on particles of glacial silt in the water!

Blue Lake sits just a few miles after South Lake, in a beautiful alpine landscape. After Blue Lake you can choose your path to many other pristine and isolated alpine lakes.

A few miles after Whitney Portal you will find this scenic mountain lake, forming a nice pool all surrounded by rocks. The hike to the lake has some elevation gain, but it’s only a moderate slope it does not require permission to visit, and it’s also allowed to camp overnight. This is a popular trail that also leads to Mount Whitney and other peaks in the area, so you might see more people during weekends, mostly during summer. Lone Pine Lake can also be accessed during winter months, and you might find a beautiful frozen lake.

The Red Cathedral is a crimson cliff that stands out 183 meters above and behind the yellow and brown slopes and walls of the Golden Canyon. The origin of the name comes from the red rocks that have eroded into pillars in some places
