From USDA.GOV: Climbing the hillside on the south side of Sabrina Lake, the trail leads to a series of high alpine meadows and lakes in Sabrina Basin surrounded by glacier flanked 13,000 ft. granite peaks. Many day hikers enjoy visiting Blue Lake (2.5 miles). If hikers continue on the trail it will take them to Dingleberry, Hungry Packer, and Midnight Lakes. The side trail to Donkey and Baboon Lake is more rugged and is not recommended for stock. Beyond Blue Lake, bear canisters are the only practical way to store food due to the lack of tall trees. Common Destinations: Sabrina Basin, Blue Lake, Hungrey Packer, , Midnight Lake

I have a wife with several health issues and can not do my dream trips right now. Your videos give me a way to realize the dreams I have of backpacking in MY favorite place... The Sierras! Your videos through the years has been elevated by 10000 points. I also love the way you give all the details at the end! Truly awesome man!
One of the absolute most beautiful trails I have ever viewed! Almost brings tears to my eyes, it’s so gorgeous.
Couldn't agree more!
I was researching some hikes to do in this area for my 50th birthday and watched your Chocolate Lakes video and was so impressed (and inspired) I watched this one too and decided to actually do this one as well. I ended up day hiking Big Pines Lakes Loop, Chocolate Lakes Loop, and this one out to Hungry Packer and Midnight Lakes in consecutive days October 16th, 17th, and 18th. (38 miles 8.5k elevation gain) The weather (I scored) was unseasonably warm (low 80's) and there wasn't a cloud in the sky the whole time I was there. They were the 3 BEST hikes I've ever done. I watched your videos over and over while I was doing "step ups" in my apartment as prep. They are very well done and totally inspiring my friend. Thank you.
Love the summary at the end. Thank you for sharing!
Another great video. I love the music 😊
Beautiful! Hope to visit one day. Love all the info you present.
Beautiful sound of the creek
Gorgeous area--Thanks for sharing! I'll add it to my hiking wishlist! 😊
Absolutely breathtaking! This is outstanding piece of art! What a beautiful cinematography! Love this!!!
right on...right on...right on...✌
Love it! I did Dingleberry as a day hike a couple years ago. Out and back and I was wiped!
Enjoyed the video and hoping to visit that area next year. Thank you for the information!
yes please keep doing these videos, love the format!
Thank you for making this video (& trek) this year. I only made it up to the Sierra once this year, and this made me smile. Sabrina basin is always lovely. I am looking forward to checking out HP Lake sometime. The views there look stunning.
Absolutely breathtaking and serene!!! I love this video - first time watching one of your videos man…. This is great
Thank you and welcome!
That “Hungry Packer” lake is really something. I remember fishing Sabrina and watching packers heading up that trail thinking I gotta get up there. Well now I’m ready! Nice video.
Beautiful! Adding this to the list! Lol Great Video!
I did this exact trip five years ago, and seeing this video made me want to go back! The Sabrina Basin is so amazingly gorgeous. Also I remember not being able to find the trail to Midnight Lake when I was there, but maybe I was just tired lol. Great footage as always, and thanks for sharing!
Another great video. Love Hungry Packer Lake and if you don't want to go far for spectacular scenery, Blue Lake is a shirt and beautiful destination.
Your comments on the campsites you spotted on the one lake was helpful, as well as advising against going off trail at the other lake, I don't remember which one, but even looking at the terrain on video it didn't look passable.
Great tips.
Love the behind the scenes section. Love hearing your thoughts and experiences.
Thank you!
Great video never commented on your channel before, been watching your videos for awhile. Love the hikes. Definitely doing this one next summer if I can snag a permit. Like the trail tips at the end.
Thank you! Love your video! We were here in the Fall. Stunning scenery with snowcapped mountains and Fall foliage.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like that you give your opinion of the trail and the difficulty of the hike, etc
huge thumbs up to the end overview!!!
Thank you , we finally have a date to do this backpacking 😊 love all the information you give us
And good luck to us 😂
I want to hike the Sabrina Basin. So beautiful! Sierra Mountains are now on my list! Thanks for making this and other Sierra Mountain videos! Heavenly places! Beautiful movies. Great jobs!
Good video. Thank you!
You’re a good man and thorough
Will definitely check this area out when I get back to the Sierra. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you! Well worth the visit. I plan to go back this year.
Really enjoyed the video of the upper lakes in Sabrina Basin. I have been to Lake Sabrina but not the upper lakes. This is one of your best videos. Thanks.
Thank you!
Started following here just saw ur vid with matts fishermans life. Great videos on your channel and great hikes and lakes. Keep it up
Thank you - welcome to the channel!🤠
Cheers mate! I haven't commented in quite a while but thought I'd take the time to say your videos are as bright, sparkling, and beautiful as always - would that we all had your photography skills (now don't let any of this go to your head). Too, congratulations on becoming a father, may your son's childhood be filled with light, love, and laughter. Cheers!
Thank you I appreciate it!!
You really captured the beauty of this area. Your cinematography and storytelling standout amidst all the other hiker videos I've seen...and, I watch a lot of hiking videos :)) I solo hiked for a week in the Sierras this past autumn and now I can't wait to return this summer.
Thank you so much!
I wish I would live closer to California, one day I hope to visit some of these spectacular trails...Thanks
The behind-the-scenes portion was VERY helpful. Personally, I prefer no music in hiking videos. I love to hear nature's music: The wind, water, bird song and crunch of shoes on trail. But beautiful video. Thanks
AWESOME VIDEO 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Yeah, the rap up's great, what's not to like. Someday your vids will be the go-to for preparedness.
Great video.
I think I may have ran into you awhile ago @ snowcreek in the valley.
excellent video
Thank you
Man I used to watch your videos like a year ago & then lost touch. Absolutely beautiful!! Heading up to Lone Pine n Bishop end of March but pretty sure won’t be able to hike the Sabrina Basin. Could still be packed with snow and the 168 may be closed 😞.
Welcome back 😊
I definitely enjoy this type of video! I'm amazed at how there are so many small, obscure lakes that are as gorgeous as any of the hugely popular destinations and yet you also get solitude! Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to try to get out more next Summer/Fall.
Every time I think I should do a backpacking video I check on Sheety33 and find he's already beaten me to it. I was just on this hike last season. Great job, thanks again. You are keeping the dream alive through what is starting off to be a pretty cold winter. And how about that recent Sierra snow? Happy holidays to you and family!
Going to be a deep winter it appears…time for the snow shoes!
Really beautiful segment of the Sierra. What month was this? Enjoy your narrative at the end keep it up and happy birthday!🎊🎉🎂
Love the video and hearing the explanation afterward. This makes me want to do this hike next summer and spend a few nights up there. I'm assuming I would need to get a wilderness pass?
Awesome! A wilderness pass is needed.
Simply wonderful! Incredible scenery and a fantastic film. You really found the perfect camping spot ;)
I’m gona be honest I’m a bit jealous😂. I was born in that area and grew up and graduated bishop high school. For us every thing was a day trip so I never really got to explore past Sabrina, south lake and north lake.
Absolutely LOVED this video! I'm looking for a new tent...Which Big Agnes do you use?
Thank you! I use the big Agnes fly creek UL2 and the tiger wall 3
You call it Sabr-II-na, other bloggers call it Sabr-EE-na. I’ve always called it Sabr-EE-na. But I’ve never heard which is “official” (ie: what the locals, mostly, call it). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. And it goes without saying that this was a really great video. I’m 89 so I’ll never get to see that lower Sierra country again. So many beautiful places in this state and this country. You would have to be rich and live for several hundred years to see them all. Thanks for this video.
We were just there and the locals say Sabr-ii-na. We asked. Also learned that correct pronunciation of Mono lake is like “oh no”, not like the Mono virus haha.
So beautiful- great scenery up there. My favorite area of the sierras. I'm not able to get up there much anymore, so really appreciate your videos. Thanks!
Beautiful video. And yes I enjoyed the behind the scenes commentary at the end. Very well done!
How beautiful
Thanks for the video , looks like a great place. Planning early summer hikes now. Will tag this one .. were permits tough, do you recall?
Stunning place! Ah, I forgot to mention permits - they are hard to get!
Got it, thanks for heads up
Hello scott !..were there any trout there ? I've got a solo coming up, in june ty oh!love all your videos, especially the yosemite one ,thanks
I believe there were many! This was a couple years ago now, but do recall seeing large fish in at least 1 of these series of lakes.
@Sheety33 ty Scott, looking forward to my trip ,you're video made it easy
Looks like you were there at the perfect time; everything was very green! Do you recall what month this was?
Loved your video! But please do yourself a favor and get a Cnoc Vector Water bag… that part was painful to watch lol..
Thank you! Come again?…I’m not following you
What time of the year did you take this trip? Thanks for sharing!!
When did u hike? such a beautiful weather❤
July
Nice adventures , do you think the trail from sabrina to blue lake has snow this coming month of May?
Absolutely- normally through June.
@@Sheety33 okey Sir, what about cell service are there any signal especially in blue lake maybe?
What kind of bear canister did you use? Tent? Are you into quilts ? Air mattress?
Great video..any mosquitoes in this area?
None!
Great video, but I can’t help but notice you stopped at the trailhead sign where it also has a sign stating “no drone zone” then a few moments later you have drone footage 🤔. I thought national parks and wildness areas are a no-no for drones?
Thank you and I appreciate your question. Drone operators are permitted to take off and fly from outside congressionally designated wilderness, and encourage all drone operators to follow FAA Regs.
How would you compare this too big pines lakes
I'm curious what time of year this was. It can't be December. I'm going to guess this must have been during the summer, based on the wildflowers and the green grass. June or July perhaps.
July :)
Hi! im doing this trip in 2 weeks with 3 days 2 nights. Do you think it’s worth going all the way to hungry packer day 1 with all our gear to camp or set up a base camp at blue lake and explore lakes the next 2 days with day packs?
Either option works, just depends where you would like to explore more. I’d just exploring 1 day at the upper lakes, camp at blue lake.
Is this a good spot to camp for 3 or 4 days? Did you do any fishing?
It’s an excellent one - many wonderful wilderness camp spots at the lakes!
Do you need a permit to Day hike
I'm assuming you set a base camp and visited the other lakes from there
Yes exactly - base camp of blue lake and hiked to the upper lakes🤠
"Ruby Green?!"
😂 I mean’t emerald!
nice work....I'm dieing for winter to be over and it hasn't even started. Your vids don't help. Go Sierras
i too echo everyone else's opinions in the comments, i love the vibe your videos give off, just chill and good ambient music with beautiful scenery. there are so many hiking videos , where 90% of the time, the camera is filled with the annoying person's face and voice , like show me some trees and water, bro!
also m confused as to what was the reason to cut those paracords while u were setting up the tent?
