This backpacking trip in the Ansel Adams and John Muir
Wilderness will rank high on my list of backpacking trips. On this trip,
we enjoyed walking through dense forests, across and along streams, along lakes, through meadows, up mountain passes lined with boulders and high
granite peaks, etc. We experienced cloudy skies, clear blue skies, high
winds, still nights, and frozen water bottles on the last morning.
Day 1 – Walk in - Lake Thomas
Edison to Graveyard
Lake. ...
drive up 168 till you reach Huntington Lake. the road around the lake will lead you to a horse stable, park the car and there's the trail head.The 1st and last mile are teh toughest, very steap, in between it gets easier, but mostly all uphill.

Drive up the side rode until you get to a small parking lot and another sign.
This was a 8.2 mile hike to Twin Lakes in the Kaiser Wilderness of the Sierra National Forest. Potter Pass Cutoff (Kaiser Pass Rd) is located near Huntington Lake. This is a moderate hike (though the elevation at 8000 ft makes it seem tough).We started out from the Potter Pass Cutoff parking lot. The climb up to Potter Pass was steady but moderate.
