Recently I hiked the Sifford Lakes trail for the first time… I’m not really sure why I’ve never done this trail before, because there are some stunning locations on the trail.
Sifford Lakes is a grouping of around 6 to 8 small lakes, some of them do dry up during the summer months. We could see where there should have been two more lakes. Because the lakes are relatively small and exposed to the sun they make for relatively good swimming. I stopped for a swim on the way back in one of the first lakes that you reach.
There is also a offshoot path that goes out to some crags that have a great view of the Warner Valley, and the Devils Kitchen geothermal area. This was our chosen spot of lunch on this hike.
