Paradise Lake


   

DESCRIPTION:

The hike to the lake and the view are usually better than the fishing -- but then views are terrific, especially if you scramble the few feet above the lake to the Sierra Crest. That’s Warren Lake in the gorge to the east. Paradise Lake is one of my all-time favorites.
