This time of year is pretty hot here in Northern California. But cool places to fish and camp can be found. We would go to the high Sierra lakes and rivers to get out of the heat of the Valley. Back packing to the highest lakes that weren't accessible by car. That is a lot of fun because you can get to see more wildlife and some awesome scenery. The trail for the most part, are well marked and well used. Getting lost is not an option. A good plan is to check forest service maps and wilderness area maps for locations of camp areas. When an area is found that is interesting check with rangers for rules of access. A fire permit is needed in practically all areas. Even a permit to tell rangers how many hikers are in some wilderness areas. There may be restrictions on the number allowed in some areas.
Have a good time and remember to let someone know where you will be going and if you change your mind. Safety is the main concern in the high country.
A good source of camping, picnicking and household items is available at Trasan.
