Rush Creek Trail: Horsetail Falls and Agnew Lake
From the June Lake Loop, as you near Silver Lake, you may notice a huge rushing waterfall running over the granitic mountainside. When we first noticed Horsetail Falls, the powerful flow was impressive and we wanted to get a closer look! So we set off on a quick day hike in the June Lake area and followed Rush Creek Trail up to Agnew Lake. And we succeeded in getting that closer look at Horsetail Falls!

Backpacking Peeler Lake Loop | Hoover Wilderness
For our finale in the eastern Sierras for the season, we decided on backpacking Peeler Lake Loop. Peeler Lake is in the Hoover Wilderness of the eastern Sierras near Bridgeport, California. This Hoover Wilderness borders the Yosemite National Park and the elevation ranges from between 7,000-12,000 feet. We've never had the chance to explore the Hoover Wilderness so we were excited see a whole new beautiful area of the always stunning Sierra Nevadas.
