Silver Lake offers spectacular views of the High Sierras, near Mammoth Lake area. The June Lake Loop is located
off Highway 395, south of Lake Tahoe.
From Silver Lake, we traveled to Loon Lake (Jeanne shown below). Loon Lake can be treacherous for conventional
kayaks, due to strong wind in the afternoon. Conventional kayaks can be trapped at the inaccessible end of the lake,
resulting in a long night on the rocks. We had no problem re-crossing the lake against wind and chop.
