At the request of Julia (Karen’s sister) and Chris (our brother-in-law), Karen and I hiked with them (and Oakley the nearly one year old) out of Mosquito Flat, up-canyon from Tom’s Place in the eastern Sierras off Hwy. 395 just south of Mammoth.  In a word, “wow.”

This region is beautiful, easy to access, and even with its high popularity you still could feel completely alone should you walk just a quarter mile off the trail to any one of the many small lakes tucked beneath the towering 12,000-14,000 foot peaks.

According to many of the hikers, angling was good too.
