From the Pacific Crest Trail for those looking for a longer hiking experience, to local day hikes, the Eastern Sierra has a plethora of trails to choose from. Drive up to Saddlebag Lake and take the ferry across to the glaciers, or enjoy a jaunt up to Duck Lake. Make sure, in any recreational activity, to bring lots of water and take it easy. The altitude is definitely a factor up here at 8,000 feet and higher.
