Graveyard Lakes Access

Graveyard Lakes Access is a trailhead located at Vermilion Valley Campground near Lake Thomas A. Edison in the Ansel Adams Wilderness, requiring an 8-mile hike with 2,200 feet of elevation gain to reach the cluster of alpine lakes at approximately 10,000 feet.

Overnight visitors must obtain a wilderness permit from Recreation. gov and pick it up at the Prather Ranger Station; the trailhead parking area is at the far end of Vermilion Valley Campground with clear signage marking the location.

Nearby amenities include Vermilion Valley Resort (offering meals, showers, and lodging) and High Sierra Pack Station, which provides gear packing services for those wanting to hike with lighter loads.
