Name: First Falls, Second Falls to Third Lake
Start: 2025-08-10T15:00:00.000Z
Location: North Fork Trailhead

I was inspired last year by several members of the group. We will be teaming up with the Amateur Sierra Hiking group (Steven). Independence Peak is a short, fun, and challenging route. We will leave from
the Onion Valley Campground on Robinson Lake trail. After a few short miles, reaching Robinson Lake, the off-trail adventure will begin. Summiting Independence Peak will require some Class 3 scrambling towards the top. So please be prepared with the proper gear. Reaching the summit we will be rewarded with breath taking views and raising the American Flag.
Please be well prepared with good sturdy hiking boot/shoes, hat, gloves, sun screen, bug repellent (never know), water, snacks/lunch, optional hiking poles, etc.

**Details:**
3.2 mi r.t
2,513 ft. elevation gain

Piute Pass is considered to be one of the best and easiest ways to get into the heart of the Sierra Nevada with countless lakes, valleys and basins. The hike will take us through a pine-laden forest that opens up to a gorgeous alpine wonderland, hiking along cascading creeks and lakes surrounded by beautiful granite mountains, Reaching the pass at 11,417 feet we will continue on to Humphreys Lakes.
Please be well prepared with good sturdy hiking boot/shoes, hat, gloves, sun screen, bug repellent (never know), water, snacks/lunch, optional hiking poles, etc. As a note there is plenty of water along the trail to filter.
