Virginia Lakes and Hoover Lakes

Notes by piero scaruffi | Travel resources | Other California destinations | California hikes
The Virginia Lakes are located in the Hoover Wilderness north of Mono Lake, south of Bridgeport. A paved road takes you to the trailhead, which is the very touristy Virginia Lake 1. In about one hour the trail takes you to the pass, passing by four more lakes. From the top you can see Summit Lake (in the direction of Yosemite). Start hiking down the trail and the Hoover Lakes will appear in the north. The trail descends steeply to the lakes. A fork takes left to Summit Lake and right to the Hoover Lakes and then East Lake.
