Graveyard Lakes Access provides trailhead parking at Vermilion Valley Campground near Lake Thomas A. Edison, serving as the starting point for an 8-mile hike (2,200 ft elevation gain) to a cluster of alpine lakes at 10,000 feet in the Ansel Adams Wilderness.

Overnight visitors must obtain a Recreation. gov Wilderness Permit from the Prather Ranger Station; the trailhead is accessed via Kaiser Pass Road (typically open by Memorial Day), and gas should be obtained in Prather or Shaver Lake before the drive.
