Overview

High in the Sierra National Forest, just south of the Yosemite National Park border is the hidden gem known as Iron Lakes. East of the small mountain town of Fish Camp, north of Bass Lake, and Oakhurst this short, semi-technical 4x4 trail leads to an overlook of Iron Lakes with some awesome views of the surrounding mountains and lake below. For those willing to make the hike, the clear waters at the lake are a short, but steep walk away. Any off-roader with minimal 4x4 experience should do fine on this trail by taking it slow and picking the right lines.
