Hiking Twenty Lakes Basin and Saddleback Lake: Late Summer Adventure in Inyo National Forest
The Twenty Lakes Basin Loop is a stunning hike that begins at Saddlebag Lake and leads you through a series of breathtaking alpine lakes and scenery. Along the way, you'll be treated to impressive views of nearby mountain peaks. In this article, I’ll take you along with me on this hike, which I did in late summer after a particularly snowy winter. The lingering snow patches, which persisted until September, made the hike both tricky in places and exciting.
