The fantastic 2,650-mile long trail that is the Pacific Crest Trail crosses Highway 4 just east of Ebbetts Pass. Here you are well into alpine country. This trail enters the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness and climbs about four miles to Noble Lake and onwards. The views of Noble Canyon and Highland Peak are spectacular.

Ebbetts Pass is one of the first roads you will cross after you left the Sierras at Sonora Pass. If you are lucky, there might be some trail angels around.
