One of the most beautiful hikes I ever had the privilege of enjoying. 20.5 mile loop in the Ansel Adams Wilderness outside June Lake. Scenery was simply unparalleled: so many amazing lakes, gorgeous colors, glaciers, ragged Sierra Peaks.
The hike starts from the Rush Creek Trailhead near June Lake and climbs to a beautiful wonderland full of water and incredible mountains. The highlight of the day was clearly Thousand Island Lake and Banner Peak with its glaciers. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.

View of June Lake from Hwy 158. It was incredibly windy, that's why the lake has so many waves.
