Desolation Wilderness

Pacific Crest Trail

Info: Just west of Lake Tahoe is one of Northern California’s most ethereal landscapes. Aptly named and situated in the El Dorado National Forest, this landscape of alpine lakes and glacier-scarred rock is the where the granitic Sierra Nevada transitions towards the volcanic Cascade mountain range. It’s open, sun-exposed, and rugged, but the beauty doesn’t disappoint. Lake Aloha is one of the area’s most picturesque but in these parts the trail skirts lake after lake as the barren rocks give way to wildflowers and lush, old growth forest.
