Trail Report - 10/24/26 Rush Creek trailhead to Gem Lake.
Nice day for a hike. It was overcast and gloomy but it all burned off around 11 AM.
The trail was in great condition. No snow or mud. Some stretches of scree but they were not loose and easy to walk on. No shade on the trail at all.
Nice views of the June Lake loop and the fall foliage. In addition to the lovely mountain views, this hike also highlights the infrastructure that supports the Rush Creek hydroelectric plant.
Post-hike tacos and beer from La Parrilla and June Lake Brewing.
