Beautiful locations we have seen in the past 8 years over several visits. I got engaged here as well as spent a beautiful morning atop the peak of mountains. If you get the chance please take the time and visit. The stars are beautiful from the wilderness out here.
Gorgeous area. Has it all: beautiful mountains, raging snow melt "rivers," abandoned mines, birds, animals, canyons, sunsets.. Perfect to explore with lots of space. Some roads were still closed when I was there end of May/first bit of June due to snow. Lots of camp and RV sites, & pulloffs for taking photos.
Best example of what a national forest should be. Easily accessible and many attractions to see. This national forest is HUGE so plan ahead with what you want to see, or just find a road to take you somewhere amazing! Highly recommend the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest and the areas all along I-395!
Enjoyed it tremendously. So much snow. Nice fresh air. Very relaxing. Couldn't go to any lakes at higher elevation, everything was closed. So beautiful, had a good time showing a co-worker around.
We did the Little Lakes Valley trail and highly recommend it for those looking for a moderate hike. The trail was well maintained and easy to follow. It wasn't too crowded. However, you still had enough people so that you didn't feel isolated. We were able to complete the hike in one day making a few stops at the lakes to take in the view and have a few snacks. Definitely recommend a visit!!
