Big Pine 7 Lakes Tour
Said to be one of the most picturesque adventures in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, you’ll be in awe at the hidden lakes that await you on this trail! Big Pine Lakes is a little known paradise hiding deep in the wilderness, and the views of the towering peaks surrounding these turquise lakes are sure to stay with you long after the trail ends! This trip can be done as a more strenuous 2 day trek, or a more relaxed 3 day "basecamp" style hike- where we can set up camp at one of the first lakes, and spend our second day exploring the others with light daypacks!
