LITTLE LAKES VALLEY TO GEM LAKES

"Starting out at 10,000 feet, the trail to Gem Lakes through the Little Lakes Valley will leave you breathless for two reasons. Starting at the Mosquito Flat Trail, the trail to Gem Lakes works its way up Rock Creek, passing a handful of stunning lakes and breathtaking viewpoints. Gaining just 700 feet over the 6.9 mile out-and-back trail, this is a great trail to introduce you and your family to higher elevation hikes in the eastern Sierra. The views are incredible, especially from Gem Lakes, making this the ideal day trip or first backpacking destination." - BishopVisitor.com
