In June, my friend, Kelly, and I hiked the Twenty Lakes Loop. There was still some snow on the trail which made for some fun photos.
From Bridgeport, we drove south on highway 395 and turned right onto Tioga Pass (120 West). Before you get to the east gate of Yosemite, there is a sign for Saddlebag Lake on the right. That dirt road takes you to the Saddlebag Lake parking lot. From there we started on the trail around Saddlebag Lake (10,000 ft). This loop is a little over 8 miles. You can take a water taxi across the lake for a fee if you want to trim about 3 miles off the hike.
After hiking around Saddlebag, we went right at the fork in the trail.
I appreciated the diversity of the landscape. On the trail you will find a variety of pretty meadows sprinkled with wildflowers along with snowy granite peaks.

I would say this hike isn't that difficult if you are used to the elevation. The trail is moderate with elevation gains and losses of only a few hundred feet.
