A late Summer solo hiking and wild camping adventure under the stars to the Big Pine Lakes (Second Lake to be exact) in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA. I ventured as far as Sixth Lake as the trail dissipated and was running out of light - all the reason to head back out :)

Nestled in the breathtaking Eastern Sierra Nevada, the Big Pine Lakes stand as a pristine wilderness jewel, captivating hikers with their alpine allure. This awe-inspiring chain of glacier-carved lakes, set against a backdrop of towering granite peaks, offers an unparalleled high-altitude adventure. Beginning at the Big Pine Creek Trailhead, the trail winds through pine-scented forests, revealing turquoise-hued lakes along the way. The crown jewel, Second Lake, enchants with its mirror-like surface reflecting the surrounding peaks. As you ascend, each successive lake unveils its unique charm, culminating in a surreal alpine landscape. Prepare for a challenging yet rewarding journey through nature's grandeur in the heart of the Sierra Nevada.
