Summer is for Hiking: Weaver Lake, near border of King’s Canyon National Park, Ca. July 5, 2012
This is a great day hike, the trail well-marked and the lake has multiple spaces for overnight camping. It was amazing the temperature change at the height of Weaver Lake – the air was crispy cool on a day that it was over 100 in the valley. One could also do an overnight loop and include Jennie Lakes as well (my next time project) . Weaver Lake is a secluded quiet alpine lake at the base of Shell Mountain. (a website which gives the overnight loop info and directions to arrive at the trailhead: http://www.everytrail.com/guide/jennie-and-weaver-lakes-loop/)

The trail is a bit difficult to see from the parking area but it is lined with rocks.

Butterflies hovering and grouping near watery areas – must have been at least 100.
