After getting shut out on my attempt to make a visit to this lake realtively easy from the adjacent canyon, I returned a few days later to make the long, hot 7.5 mile hike up from the bottom, via Devil’s Postpile National Monument. This time I camped in the monument ot be able to drive my own vehicle in, which greatly simplified logistics (and enabled me to use a bear box to safely store food away form my vehicle, an option which was lacking on the prior week’s trip when the ranger station advised me to park at Mammoth Mountian and take the shuttle in).
It would be a 15 mile round trip, so I budgeted two nights in case I might want a layover day to go explore nearby lakes.
