Inyo National Forest · California
Trailhead T.J. Lake Trailhead Drive there
See three lakes in one short walk. Abundant wildflowers can be found at the upper end of T.J. Lake. The trailhead is near the campground at Lake George. T.J. Lake is named for Tom Jones, one of the first supervisors of Inyo National Forest.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
