Twenty Lakes Basin hike
Twenty Lakes Basin, Hoover Wilderness, California.
Saddlebag Lake is just outside Yosemite in the Hoover Wilderness. It is also a backdoor cross-country entrance into the park by way of McCabe Lakes. The region behind and including Saddlebag Lake is known as the Twenty Lakes Basin. The loop can be hiked in either direction but is easier taking first to Hummingbird Lake and coming back over Steelhead lake. The loop is long about five miles. Easy access from Tioga Road (Highway 120) between Ellery Lake and Tioga Resort.
