One 'backdoor' to Garnet Lake is to take the River Trail up from Agnew Meadow trailhead - this is where options to Thousand Island Lake via the Pacific Crest Trail and hikes to the Minarets via Shadow Lake also begin. The River Trail comes off the Ediza Lake Trail just past Olaine Lake, where that trail drops to cross the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin. The River Trail continues to follow the eastbank of the Middle Fork up to just before Thousand Island Lake when it rejoins the Pacific Crest Trail. A few miles up, there is a small lateral trail that will climb steeply up through forested cliffs to Garnet Lake's outlet. Watch the way closely as it is not always obvious!!

This was the view along the River Trail on late September afternoon, near the end of a long dayhike into the lakes above. The valley is that of the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin - in which lies the Devil's Postpile - and Mammoth Mountain is seen ahead.

Great page, Mark. We'll be in Mammoth next Thursday-Friday before going up Whitney on Saturday. Got a favorite day-hike you can recommend while we are in Mammoth? I'm thinking Mammoth Crest or Duck Lake. | RickinDutch Wed Jun 21, 2006 17:24 UTC
Great tips on my old hiking grounds. Thousand Island Lake was a favorite lay over. And yes - we do have a fog season, tho not so bad this year. Global warming? | chewy3326 Sun Feb 5, 2006 23:55 UTC
Great page. I'm visiting Mammoth in June. Which lake can you do a full day-hike to? | KristaB Sat Sep 18, 2004 07:43 UTC
You are right - Hot Creek is just the place for me to soak in right now, thank you! Ah, I don't care for the stench, can't smell anything now anyway. |
