Beaver Ponds, Lundy Canyon (10/12/22) Mark Harding
Lundy Canyon (northwest of Mono Lake) is now peaking and prime to be hiked. It is one of the best fall color hikes in California, if not the best.
What makes it so good is that it has it all .. gorgeous color, wildlife, decaying cabins, lakes and ponds, waterfalls (3) and breathtaking views throughout. Modern Hiker describes it as a 3.9 mile hike that takes 3 hours to do and has a 800′ gain. We describe it as pure joy.
If you have never hiked Lundy Canyon, now’s the time, as it is now Hike of the Week.
