I've gone twice and got lost both tines wish I seen this video first I can see I was very close each time 😵‍💫

[@deegs6074]

My Grandparents Lived In Sonora , I Fished Pinecrest Lake Many Times When I Was A Kid .. Wow What Memories ..

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

Did this over the weekend - almost completely dry. Interesting though! My video will drop in a few weeks. :)

[@mattkuang464]

Good video, that hike seems very epic! Also thanks for the shoutout!

[@jinsjewelry]

Hi, Matt:)😃

[@kennethtyree4770]

Who named it Cleo's bath? All the other names have changed, why not Cleo's bath? Pinecrest was the civilian campground. What about Dodge Ridge, the Bunny Hill. Camp McBride is not even a memory. So much for Yosemite Area Council.

[@dhimes3]

That brought back great memories.....is the Boy Scout camp still there....Camp McBride?

[@jinsjewelry]

Sorry, I haven't seen them...

[@bencabebe1423]

Beautiful but gave anxiety worring about getting lost me and family did hike around lake when we started weather was Beautiful when we got halfway started hailing and raining my hands were frozen when we got back but no regrets it was Beautiful

[@DineshReddyBaddam]

Awesome video! Looking forward to visiting the place soon. How's the water temperature like (warm enough to swim?). Thanks.

[@jinsjewelry]

Thank you,Dinesh Reddy Baddam :) When we were there, it was 70s and very windy. We didn't go in but this week is about 90s. I am sure you want to jump in after a long hike and boulder climbing 😄

[@stephenchristian5739]

definetly nice i wish it was all natural sound rather than music but thanks it does bring me closer to buying a house I was looking at in Twain, I grew up going to Yosemite & go just about every year my entire life, always hiking right next to the N.Fork of the Merced man what a great little river with amazing discoveries & the deeper you go past Wawona Dome the better the pools get its truly amazing just behind Wawona.

[@richardgrube9865]

I done that hike! It’s my favorite!

[@jinsjewelry]

It's a Hidden Gem ^^ Thank you for watching 😍

[@gelflingmama]

Thank you sooo much for this video!! I haven’t been able to go since I was a teenager and I miss it so much living in Denver!!!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

What an awesome place to camp and also hike. It looked a real nice trail and as long as you saw those blue arrows, seemed easy to follow, although there was a bit of scrambling up the rocks. I loved Cleo's Bath, what a place to stop and cool off. I was I could get a tent up that quick lol, cheers Alan

[@jinsjewelry]

Thank you, Alan 😃 You've been there? It was a really nice place to cool off. Perfect hiking trail by the Pinecrest Lake side and I loved Boulder scrambling :) 😃

[@NickandRachel]

Looks like an awesome place to hike! Thanks for sharing

[@jinsjewelry]

It was! Beautiful lake side trails with a picturesque granite mountains as background 😍

[@NickandRachel]

@@jinsjewelry sweet! We have a good time making outdoor content also

[@jinsjewelry]

I just visited your channel. Awesome!!

[@NickandRachel]

@@jinsjewelry thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@Jay_Kayy]

Its amazing, and what's more amazing, I was born and raised up here. We locals enjoy Pinecrest but only on days when the camp grounds and lake aren't packed out. Some weekends are crazy packed due to tourists from the valley, which is 1 1/2 hours away. Its amazing, and if you come up here, please check out Yosemite national park first. Its not far from where I live either. Beautiful. Majestic. You'll love it

[@annewandering9823]

what a nice adventure sis..love the trails..keep safe always..hope you can go with me too..

[@jinsjewelry]

If you come to Bay area and want to hike some place nice let me know :)

Thank you, Petr. Finally most of the National Park has opened up. 😍👋

[@MovinOnBob]

I remember way back when I first saw your channel. It was lovely with the music and short videos. But I'm LOVING the longer ones with your narration with all the useful information. You sure have come a long way. You go to some great places and this one is a must do for sure. Maybe in july. Im going to Yosemite the next two weekends. Thanks Jina. Change of plans: going here tomorrow, Yosemite can wait till next weekend. haha

[@jinsjewelry]

Thank you, Bob Your comments always encourages me. I really appreciate it. Yosemite for day trip? Nice! I am going backpacking to Inyo this weekend and Yosemite for following week :) I guess backpacking season has finally started!! Super excited 😄

[@jinsjewelry]

Going to clouds rest on 28th :)😃

[@MovinOnBob]

@@jinsjewelry I love Cloud's Rest. I'm staying in Upper Pines the 26th. I did Cleo's Bath TODAY. Wow, I'm not in good shape right now so that last bit of climbing kicked my butt. haha I'm so glad you posted it, I'm training for my JMT end of August so this one today helped my fitness level for sure. Have a great Yosemite trip.

[@ColemanOutdoors]

Very nice, Jina!

[@jinsjewelry]

It was a really beautiful place to hike. Majestic granite mountains as a background and boulder climbing :) 😃 😍

[@ColemanOutdoors]

@@jinsjewelry sounds like the perfect place for a hike if you ask me!

[@a.duarte4640]
