Cliff Lake: Eastern Approach

The Seven Mile Trail is located imminently cross the Sevenmile creek when leaving the parking area, and is then fairly straight forward after that. There are a few sections that are fairly steep, but the footing was good. Once you get on the PCT: Highway 140 to Highway 138 (near Cascade Crest) , the trail is much less rugged until you depart it at the Seven Lakes Basin. Grass Lake is the first lake you come across, it has great fishing and is very shallow. There is a large horse camp area here.Between Grass & Middle lakes, there is a trail that goes north to Lake Ivern. If you have the time, I highly suggest checking it out (about 5 miles round trip) as the view from that lake is incredible.I camp at Cliff lake as it is the most picturesque setting, in my mind.
