Pacific Crest Trail

The Pacific Crest trail isn't much of a day hike and should have totaly wilderness precautions when hiking it, but besides that, the Pacific Crest Trail is one of the most beautiful in the Truckee Tahoe area. It has nature in the complete raw, and many different routes and trails comming off of it. I haven't done this hike personally yet, but my parents have done it more than once with the stories and pictures to follow.

This is personally a feat I'd love to conquer someday soon!

Truckee sights to see

Some of the beautiful mountains and scenery you are able to find in wonderful Truckee!!!

5 Lakes

First post! I dedicate this to my friend Lauryl who accompanied me on this wonderful hike! Halfway between Truckee and Tahoe there is Alpine and up that road about 3 miles is a trail head, that trail head has 2 ways to go, to the right is 5 lakes. This is a medium hike and takes about 2-3 hours, depends on your pace and if you rest for lunch at the top. I suggest to take this hike with a friend or a group, it is lots of fun and definitely worth it! It is about a 1.5 mile hike to the top of the mountain and bout another mile varying up and down the mountain to the top 5 lakes. Even in mid-summer there is at least 3 feet of snow on the top of the mountain. This hike has beautiful view point and at a slower pace isn't that tiring. It is a fun and easy hike you can take anytime. You can pack a lunch and make it a perfect trip!
Have fun!
