Hilton Lakes

Hilton Lakes - 3rd Lake

Hike to Hilton Lakes, specifically 3rd Lake in the Sierra Nevadas. Casey Schreiner describes it better than I can so see the link below for full hike description. The weather on this day was clear despite multiple wildfires throughout the California. Temps were in upper 70s with minimal wind until we arrived at the lake where it picked up slightly. The site would make a great basecamp for several peaks including Patricia, Huntington, and Stanford. I'll be back! http://modernhiker.com/hike/hilton-creek-lakes/
