After the mild, but not negligible, 1000 ft ascent into Pinchot Pass, you'll be ready to rinse off the grime and take a rest. There are a few options for lakeside camping along the trail like Twin Lakes and an unnamed lake on the west side of the trail just beyond.

This is a cool area because the geology starts changing a little. You'll notice more red in the rock faces as opposed to the relativley constant grey/white of the Sierra granite.
