Join us on a beautiful Eastern Sierra backpacking adventure as we hike the Emerald Lake Trail to Emerald Lake, then continue on to Skelton Lake, where we wild camp under a sky full of stars 🌌
This trip takes place near Mammoth Lakes, California, and features alpine lakes, granite peaks, and a peaceful high-country campsite that feels far removed from the crowds.
Starting at the Emerald Lake Trailhead, we make our way past the stunning turquoise waters of Emerald Lake before connecting with the Duck Pass Trail, eventually reaching a quiet and remote camp at Skelton Lake. This route is perfect for backpackers looking for a moderate overnight hike with huge scenery and minimal effort.
