View Eastern Sierra Lakes in a larger map

After some local info about camping locations gleaned from a guy named Josh we met at Fremont Peak (our hero forever),  we found a great camp on our own on Green Creek, a beautiful high altitude camp (7500 ‘) on the eastern side of the Sierras. This gave me the chance to check out the nearby lakes , of which there were many.

Lundy lake
Lundy lake was a beautiful lake, and I managed a few shots of a red breasted sapsucker.  It had a nest inside of an aspen on the lake’s edge.

Twin lakes
The next day I went up to Twin Lakes, and had a short paddle in strong winds on the lower lake. It was a good workout, but not at all scenic as the waves were  causing a fair amount of splashing on board, and with my new camera in the paddling box, I decided to return the next day, which I did.

Big Valley Lake (One of the Virginia Lakes)

The following day I headed to the Virginia Lakes area and had a quick paddle on Big Valley lake. It was very small, but a lovely location. I still had time on my hands after this so I went down to Lee Vining, and put in at Mono lake.
