Lake Le Conte

Lake Le Conte lies along the Pacific Crest Trail.

There are a few sites for overnight camping, however a permit is required.


Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal, they lay down and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up and tell me what you see".

Watson said: "I see a fantastic panorama of countless stars".

Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"

There are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets and I expect a beautiful day tomorrow.

"Why? - What does it tell you, Holmes?"

Holmes was silent for a moment then spoke: "Someone has stolen our tent."
