Five Lakes Trail

Sam and I hiked the 5 lakes trail today (Five Lakes Hike) It was about a 5 1/2 mile walk round trip.

This is the trailhead off of Alpine Meadows Road.


View on the way up. The poles of the new White Wolf ski lift can be seen on the ridgeline in the background of the photo. (White Wolf)


Standing under the chairline looking towards the top of Squaw Valley's KT22. This lift when completed will serve a private real estate development.


View off to the left of the trail. Alpine Meadows ski area can be seen in the background.


Sam & I reach a shaded portion of the trail near the top. It was a surprisingly warm day.


San dives into Five Lakes to retrieve a stick.


Sam and me on the way down.


This view of the Truckee River off of West River Street in Truckee caught my eye on the drive home.
