Hiking the Matterhorn is a great peak to climb! The hike starts out at the Twin Lakes area outside Bridgeport, CA and quickly ascends up along the Horse Creek. After 3 miles it is mostly rocky paths with some good campsites between the ridges at 10,000 feet. From there there is another two miles of hiking up rocks to the SW base of the mountain. The SW face is mostly scree up to the base of the peak where you must scramble up the last 300 feet. The peak is pretty small, and you get an absolutely amazing 360 degree view of the the surrounding mountains and valleys. The weather was great. The hike is definitely challenging due to route finding and rock, but not that dangerous as long as you know where you are going!

Love the view as you follow up the trail and find parts of waterfalls up and 3 parts of the water 3 stops you can stop on. Went until I could go no more with out really thinking about how to get to top of Sawtooth Ridge Moutain. Came back down and came across bear on my trail. Did not freak out myself or bear and mutual understanding walked away from each other still all and have fuzzy bear photos within 4 to 8 feet of bear. Great photography for possible of eagles and wildlife. Altitude can get to you up there very easy trail. Plan to do this again within 3 weeks do to very pretty.

I've hiked the Barney Lake/Robinson Creek loops and around through Peeler for many years...The trail to Barney is a fantastic way to see the very real difference between the lower elevation Sierras and higher...I thought the trail was more like 6 miles roundtrip from the starting point past the Aspens - but they say 8...Hm. Anyway, easy trail, can be slippery coming down...I'll continue hike it as long as I can because the scenery is breathtaking and it is indeed, a hidden jewel of a day hike on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. If you care to take the strenuous climb above Barney, Robinson Creek is something to behold and further to Crown Point, down Kerrick Meadows to Snow Lake and Rock Island...the latter a most ethereal place.

This is a hike we used for client trips at Leave No Trace Adventures. For beginning hikers we opted for staying just at the end of Barney Lake on first night although a short distance, seemed to make it much more enjoyable for the clients. The switch backs that begin shortly after Barney Lake on the way to Crown or Peeler Lakes can be difficult for first time backpackers. We then move off to the right towards Peeler Lake and stay one or two days, depending if anyone wants to bag a peak. We then head back to Crown Lake for a night and another nice set of switches await you to the hike to 20 Mule Pass if you wish, but without packs. Great scenery, fishing, and the view atop the peaks at Peeler Lake are incredible.

I've been hiking to Barney every year for eight years and plan to be there next year!.The changes in scenery and terrain are fantastic and the views and tranquility at Barney Lake itself make it well worth the effort.

Loved this trail, very easy but since I love to photograph waterfalls it was very much worth the stop. There were 3 falls to photograph along this trail, ending with Sardine, which still had snow nearby, making for some incredible shots. With the extra runoff this year, the water flow has made this area incredibly green.

My two friends and I ran up and back in an hour and 45 minutes to train for another run. It was awesome, and one of the favorites of locals in Bridgeport. A great view and beautiful wildflowers today!

Just did this trail. 8-1-12. Hike was great. All uphill on the way. Beautiful scenery. Lake was nice and refreshing. Took 4 hours. I would say its a moderate hike.
