Difficulty: Moderate

Distance to Letterbox: 4 Miles round trip

This box is located in the Saddlebag lakes area. What a great hiking place, with one lake after another, great mountain views, and the most wildlife we saw on whole trip.

I would recommend this hike to everyone!

Directions:

From Lee Vining, go west on Hwy 120 toward Yosemite. Turn right at sign for Saddlebag lakes, and take the gravel, sometimes paved single track road to the end (roughly 8 miles). Park anywhere.

To the Letterbox:

Find the trail going around Saddlebag lake near the lodge. I suggest you hike this direction, vs crossing the dam. Walk to far end of lake until you come to wooden cabin on left. Continue on trail for 35 more steps. Look right for largest tree about 3 steps off the trail, with white rock behind it. Box is at back base of tree under a big rock.

You can either go back, or circle the lake, or continue to other lakes.

Hike length: 8+ miles if do all lakes.
