Weaver Lake Trail in Sequoia National Park

I always complain how much I dislike Fresno, and I really do, but its proximity to several National Parks is certainly a benefit, especially if you want to explore different trails. I used to mostly hike with groups, but lately I have not been able to find Meetups that go to hike the trails I want to hike. Hence, I decided to do some solo hiking.

Weaver Lake Trail is rated a moderate hike due to elevation gain and mileage. In and out 6.6 miles, the trail gains about 1,350 feet in elevation and ends in a lake. I loved the hike! No mosquitoes and limited flies on the way, and peaceful forest with some views on the way to the lake. Weaver Lake is pretty amazing itself. Crystal clear water, comfortable 72°F, even with some swimming, if you'd like.
