アルパイン郡の湖・トップ10

These lakes are a popular spot for fishing. There are a couple of nice hiking trails too, and a campground.

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.

Lake Alpine is a year round destination. Sitting at 7,300 feet it is a great place to hike, bike, swim, and kayak in the summer. In winter you'll find ample opportunities for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.

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.

Cross a small stream that is flowing through a beautiful meadow. There are plenty of protected campsites close by.

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.
