#8 - Bullfrog Lake
Kings Canyon National ParkLength: 13.1 mi • Est. 7 h 45 m
The trail begins at the Onion Valley Campground and then proceeds into the Inyo Forest. There is considerable elevation gain and plenty of stunning vistas. Notable lakes that the trail will pass are Little Pothole, Gilbert, Flower, Heart, Big Pothole, and Bullfrog. Although there is a separate trail that leads to Bullfrog Lake, this journey culminates at an elevated view of the lake from the Kearsarge Pass Trail, which is a rewarding sight. The Bullfrog Lake hike can be added to this excursion for any hiker looking for additional trail time.
Be sure to bring lots of water, snacks, and a comfortable pair of hiking shoes/boots. This hike is best done during the late spring, summer, and early fall.
