Crowley Lake - Trail to Beach Two

This smooth, easy, scenic trail leads down a mellow hill to one of the white sandy beaches on Crowley Lake, near Mammoth Lakes, California, and just outside the Long Valley Caldera in the Eastern Sierras. From the beach, the southwest view is a snowy mountain backdrop and white sands contrasting the clear blue water of the lake. A short walk along the shore leads to some of the unique rock pillars along Crowley Lake, known as the Crowley Columns. These columns are smaller than the main Crowley Columns, but are still incredible to see in person. New off-roaders in stock 4x4 vehicles and experienced wheelers in modified rigs will all enjoy this mellow, scenic trail, the beautiful beach, and the unique sight of the Little Crowley Columns.
