The trailhead for Lake Sabrina is located before the Lake Sabrina dam on the left-hand side of the road. There are very few parking spots and overnight parking is not allowed. There is free parking on the road near the campground (about 1km before the dam), although it can fit only four or five cars.

Lake Sabrina is located at the end of 168, west of Bishop, about 1.5 hours driving time south of Mono Lake, i.e. 6/7 hours from the Bay Area. >From Bishop, take 168 west, aka West Line St, all the way to the end.

After coasting Lake Sabrina (2780m) for about 1.5 km, the trail climbs steeeply to Blue Lake. Logs help you cross the creek that drains Blue Lake. Take the right turn towards Dingleberry Lake. It is very easy to make a mistake here, as the trail disappears and only cairns mark the route: you should be turning 90 degrees west away from the lake if you are on the right trail. This devastatingly stupid trail goes up and down. It drops elevation to Dingleberry Lake.

To explore the Emerald Lakes there are two choices. If you want a view from above, best is to climb the slope to the south. You can then walk east on the ridge towards Dingleberry Lake and return via the regular trail to Lake Sabrina.
