   Summary Author:  Cindy Todd

    Blue Lake, shown above at top, is about 3 miles (5 km) from the
    Sabrina Lake Trailhead in the  Eastern Sierra Nevada’s, part of
    Inyo National Forest. But it's a steep uphill climb the entire way.
   It’s worth it, thought! Blue Lake just appears out of nowhere and is a
   simply gorgeous  alpine lake, with nearby  granite peaks jutting
   up towards the sky.

   After camping the night, I hiked to  Hungry Packer Lake (bottom
   photo). You can see  Picture Peak in the background at right center.
   The hike from Blue Lake is about 3.5 miles (6 km), however it’s a
   relatively easy hike. Along the way, you’ll see several other alpine
   lakes before viewing Picture Peak, standing at 13,140 feet (4005 m) in
   elevation. Hiking in this area is stunning! Photos taken on August 28
   and 29, 2022, respectively.
