      Summary Author:  Cindy Todd   
      
       Blue Lake, shown above at top, is about 3 miles (5 km) from the   
       Sabrina Lake Trailhead in the  Eastern Sierra Nevada’s, part of   
       Inyo National Forest. But it's a steep uphill climb the entire way.   
      It’s worth it, thought! Blue Lake just appears out of nowhere and is a   
      simply gorgeous  alpine lake, with nearby  granite peaks jutting   
      up towards the sky.   
      
      After camping the night, I hiked to  Hungry Packer Lake (bottom   
      photo). You can see  Picture Peak in the background at right center.   
      The hike from Blue Lake is about 3.5 miles (6 km), however it’s a   
      relatively easy hike. Along the way, you’ll see several other alpine   
      lakes before viewing Picture Peak, standing at 13,140 feet (4005 m) in   
      elevation. Hiking in this area is stunning! Photos taken on August 28   
      and 29, 2022, respectively.
