Story:
We spent a relaxing weekend by Muir Lake in the Cottonwood Lakes basin (John Muir Wilderness). We started at the old trailhead along the road that lead to the Cottonwood campground. Reaching the lake is an uphill hike but the first half is almost flat and the second part, the steeper one, is nicely graded. We set up camp above the sandy beach and explored from there. We checked out the other lakes of the Cottonwood Lakes basin and enjoyed the views.
Tips:
Permit required. Bear Canister required. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, so if you go at the end of July, don't forget the deet.
