Rocky Shoreline view of Convict Lake & Laurel Mountain

The location for the shot is at the northeast end of the lake (closest to the parking lot). The actual spot for the featured photo is just off the asphalt path on the rocky shoreline under the trees. Access to Convict Lake is via Highway 395 approximately 10-miles south of the town of Mammoth Lakes and across the highway from the Mammoth/Yosemite Airport. Turn on Convict Lake Road, which turns off the south bound lane of the divided Highway 395, and head southwest on Convict Lake Road for 2.3-miles to Convict Lake. Cross the bridge over the outlet of Convict lake and park in the parking lot near the restrooms just on the other side. Get your gear and walk toward the beginning of the path opposite the restrooms. Once on the path, immediately begin looking for an opening in the brush on the right hand side of the path and cut off and head the short distance to the shore. If you get to the Convict Lake overlook you have gone too far.
