アルパイン郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Round Top Lake sits at the base of the towering mountains of The Sisters and Round Top. Take your time to embrace the beauty of this turquoise alpine lake. There are several trails close by that take you deeper into the wilderness and up the mountain range.

At 8,700 feet, Ebbetts Pass is a spectacular high mountain pass that is the fulcrum point between two state parks namely Calaveras Big Trees and Grover Hot Springs. It is also a cross over point for the Pacific Crest Trail. It sits just below imposing Ebbetts Peak at 9,160 feet which is just a short easy hike away.

A short spur trail will get you to the shore of Frog Lake to take a scenic break or to get some water.

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. The pass is also a historic place: Jedediah Smith, the legendary pioneer crossed the Sierra Nevada over Ebbetts Pass.

At Carson Pass you will find an information center with a small shop and some benches. Pit toilets are also available. If you are lucky, there might be some trail magic.

Very scenic trail along the contours of the upper Woods Creek drainage, gently climbing from Carson Pass. Beautiful views to Capels Lake and the surrounding peaks. At this elevation snow can linger into early in the season.

The PCT here passes the tiny Frog Lake, that can still be under snow early in the season.

What a beautiful spot on the shore of Sherrald Lake, reflecting coniferous trees and the deep blue sky. If you don't have time to camp, you should at least take a break here.
