Hike #45 - Lakes Trail to Watch Tower - Sequoia National Park, California
The Lakes Trail at Sequoia National Park passes through thick forest and along a deep canyon eventually reaching 4 beautiful glacial lakes. To reach the furthest lake, you would hike 5.8 miles and climb over 2,200'. We turned around at the Watchtower (3 1/2 miles), actually I turned around about .5 miles before the Watchtower. The trail is steep with beautiful views and lush pine forest. When we arrived, a cross-country track team was using the trail for training.
