Three mountain peaks, including 10,365-foot Mitchell Peak, stand above a lovely and diverse mixture of lakes and streams, meadows and forests in Jennie Lakes Wilderness. Here in the central Sierra Nevada, two major lakes (Jennie Lake, Weaver Lake) and several smaller lakes mingle with many rocky outcroppings. Most of the area lies above 7,000 feet, with red fir, lodgepole pine, and western white pine composing the forests and an abundance of spring wildflowers filling the meadows. Immediately to the east, you'll find Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park.
Five major trails cross the Wilderness for a total of 26 miles and receive moderate human use.
