PARKER LAKE TRAIL-LEVEL 1+

Hikers can enjoy the absolutely stunning views at the end of the Parker Lake Trail at Parker Lake. This is a 4 mile RT hike with about 650 feet gain.
To your east, you have great views of Mono Lake and to the west, you can make out are the distant summits of Mount Wood, Mount Lewis, and Parker Peak.
The trail makes a few short climbs before hitting a mostly flat stretch of trail that continues until you reach Parker Lake. You’ll pass through a few different aspen groves along the way here, so be prepared to take some extra time to snap some photos.
This trail skirts the banks of Parker Creek – creating fabulous photogenic scenes.
This is a 4 mile out and back trail taking you to the stunning Parker Lake with turquoise waters and the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range as the backdrop.
