This was just an overnighter than my daughter and I did weekend before this last one. Sword lake is one of the warmest lakes in the Sierra, good for diving and swimming, but not for fishing. Since my teen isn't all that into hiking, we picked a pretty easy one, at 3.2 miles from the trailhead. ( except ....6 miles of very bumpy dirt road to the trailhead).
We brought plenty of food, including Nutella, made a nice little fire and got plenty of good rest. Early in the morning I left for a walk around the lake and when I came back my gal was still asleep, going on 15 hours

Here are a few pictures of our "girls trip"
