Bob the Fi
green, wooded, mountain, lakes. A place where i can hike far to and pitch a tent. Kinda like the Uinta Mountains in Utah but better? Any suggestions?
also, preferably in a warmer climate.
Answer
Good morning Bob the Fish,
I hope you had a great week. I just got in from my morning walk at Venice Beach. I enjoy watching these huge high flying pelicans dive straight down into the water and come up with a fish.

The Uinta Basin is very nice, and very few areas in the US can compare. I really do not understand what you mean by âbetterâ?
The Mighty High Sierra Nevada Mountain range is much larger. Unlike the Uinta Mountains, the Sierras run north and south. This creates mountains which are more extreme and more variety.
The west side of the Sierras pulls water from the ocean. The snow is the densest in the world. In fact, throughout the world, the snow is called âCaliforniaâs Sierra Cementâ. You do not get nearly as many tourist or ski traffic, because the snow is very heavy. Utah snow is like powder, better to ski.

The altitude and the massive amounts of water create thousands of giant Redwood trees, waterfalls, and lakes. The Redwood Trees are the biggest and oldest living things on earth. The size of the area is also about three (3) times larger than the Uinta Mountain Range. Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in North America. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the USA. The lake is pure, unpolluted, and beautiful. And finally, Mount Whitney is the second tallest peak in the USA. I patch my tent near Mt. Whitney.

The east side of the Mighty Sierra Nevada Mountain Range is completely different. This is what I mean by extreme and more variety. Near the base sits Death Valley. Death Valley is the lowest point (below sea level) and the hottest place in North America. I love the eastern side because it has far less people and no children because the terrain is much rougher. The Eastern side is just as beautiful, higher mountain tops, and more lakes. As per you question, the temperatures are much milder.
I have hiked the John Muir trail twice. I was only seventeen (17) and in high school my first trip. There were five of us. We spent the summer living off the land. The year was 1961. I think we saw five other people while hiking and camping for 200 miles. We ate a lot of rice, coffee, beef Jerky, and caught âGOLDEN TROUTâ. By the way, Bob the Fish, âwhat type of fish are you? Are you a Golden troutâ (smile)?? No, only in the Mighty High Sierra Nevadaâs in California.

My second trip on the John Muir Trail was a year after returning from Vietnam. This was by far my best trip. Back then we would catch huge Golden Trout. The high altitudes and rough terrain make them fighters.

Today I hit the Eastern Sierras at least once a year. I know all the great camping and fishing lakes. I am a little too old to hike the John Muir Trail, but I will always have great memories. I hope you will someday get an opportunity to hike the John Muir. It is something to see.
Today, my favorite lake is Bull Frog Lake which is eight (8) miles back in the Sierras through Kearsarge Pass, an old Indian trail. I also spend a lot of time on the Kern River which also flows out of the southern tip of the Mighty Sierra Nevada Mountains. That is another story.

I hope my stateâs fishing, camping, trees, and mountains are just as good if not better than The Uinta Basin. Sorry, Bob the Fish, if you do get to California, you still have to find the good fishing lakes by yourself. I am one up on you.
I enjoyed talking to you this morning. I wish you and your family a beautiful week. Peace, from Los Angeles.

Favorite tent camping spot in California?
Christy H.
We are looking for a spot you can camp right on the waters edge (prefer a river) in California with lots of trees all around. No 'walk in' sites as we have three small children. Something that has a designated camping site with a fire ring, picnic table, and restrooms at the campground. Pet friendly would be a plus:) Thanks in advance!
