The Big Pine Creek North Fork Trail leads to one of Southern California's best lakes. The trail goes to Seven Lakes!!! This box is at the Second Lake. Be sure to go in Sept or Oct for fall colors, and cooler temps.

Directions:
From Big Pine (Hwy 395), go west on Crocker Ave (becomes Glacier Lodge Road) and go to end. Park on side of road, or go to lodge and pay fee to park.

To the Letterbox:
Walk to end of road and trail sign. Follow trail along creek and below cabins. Turn left on main trail and cross bridge. Climb to an old road. Go right on road. At junction you can take either trail (we took left trail going). Head to falls and above to eventually reach First Lake. Go on to Second Lake. As you approach first view of second lake, the trail goes right and up to huge boulder on left by a flat area. Go right, opposite this boulder, off trail to tree by the edge of trail. Go to back side, next to a bolder. Box is 2 feet above ground level, under rock.

Hike length: 3-5 miles
