Lost Canyon Trail really is in the middle of a charming outdoors paradise. A spree to Llewellyn Falls will fill your spirit with great feelings, and China Garden is a tremendous location to stretch your legs a bit. A pleasant visit to Little Antelope Valley is a nice
way to spend an afternoon, and since you're here, you could take a look at Mill Creek.
Whohoo, so much enjoyable stuff in one place! The Central Sierra Nevada is so good! Stay the night at Leavitt Meadows Pack Station. Put some time aside to spend at Wild Horse Spring if you're

Now,
you may think that's a lot but there's even more enjoyable stuff to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend West Walker River, and Little Lost Canyon is positively a fine place to explore.
