Have you googled "most beautiful lakes in California"?

The results suck. Google needs lots of references to rank something high. But the most beautiful lakes in the mountains don't have many visitors.

As the second part of my hiking reminiscence while staying at home, I challenged myself to rank 50ish most beautiful lakes in California. Here is my humble opinion. 

Hope this helps you find your next adventure when COVID19 situation is over. 

Until then, please stay at home.

Here is the full list of lakes in the video with the links to the original videos.

You can find the trail maps, difficulties and scenery factors in the descriptions of the linked videos.
