About two miles and 1,300 feet up the Rush Creek trail from Silver Lake.
Map by Bill Tipton, made for the Yosemite Gateway Chalet. For planning: carry a real map and check conditions before you go.
The first lake up the Rush Creek trail from Silver Lake, a hard two-mile climb into the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Keep going and you reach Gem Lake. The scree run off Carson Peak drops toward it too.
