Difficulty | Moderate [5] |
Description | Brewer Lake is an excellent trail for those with stock high clearance 4WD SUVs looking to experience the back country of the Sierra Nevada's. The trail gets difficult towards the end, however, there is plenty of room to park your vehicle, even camp as I did, before the end of the trail. For anglers there is fishing at Brewer, Tocher, and Beryl lakes. The approximate half mile to mile hike to Tocher Lake and another half mile to mile hike to Beryl Lake provides even more superb scenery for the outdoor enthusiast. |
