Awesome hike to Twin lakes, Boomerang Lake, and Islands lake. What a rewarding hike! Twin lakes trailhead is located near Wright's Lake in Kyburz, California. Get there early so you can find a parking spot close to the trailhead, otherwise the next close parking lot will add on close to another mile. A hiking permit is required since you will be hiking in desolation wilderness. They are available at the trailhead and are free. This is a dog-friendly hike in the Sierra Nevada's.
This hike is all uphill to the 3 lakes. Twin lakes is the first lake you will come to. The water is so clear and clean. I have done this hike many times and it is always so stunning in the area. Early in the season, you will see snow-capped mountains and the rivers will be much higher. When we went this trip some of the creeks were dry. We then headed around the left side of Twin Lakes and about 1 mile farther is Boomerang lake. This lake was low but still offer stunning views. If you continue on a short distance is Island lake. This lake has many islands in the middle of it, hence the name. The water was cold but you still could take a quick swim in them.
The Wildflowers were stunning this time of year. The views are incredible on this hike. All the lakes hold a special something for each one. I could do this hike 100x and never get tired of it.
