Audrian is a relatively typical place; the wettest month of the year is typically January, that's the one that snows the most, and July on the other hand is the driest. Just can't get enough of the Northern Sierra Nevada. Whitewater
paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Mokelumne River - North Fork. This lake is so wonderful. The snow is perfect at Sierra at Tahoe, and camping is available at Firs Campground. This lake is so
wonderful. If you like swamps, you're in luck, Benwood Meadow is right nearby, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always take a look at close by Lower Echo Lake. Echo Summit is a tremendous spot to take a look
at nearby, and if you come at the right time of year, American River - South Fork offers some good whitewater. Huckleberry Flat is right here at Lake Audrian; going for a hike on the Charity Valley Trail is always a glorious adventure.
Near Lake Audrian you discover the Hawley Grade Trail which is a delightful hiking trail, and why not camp at Alpine Campground while you're here at Lake Audrian. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
There's just no way anyone can get bored here at Lake Audrian. If you want to play some golf, you're in luck because Tahoe Paradise Golf Course is around here; a day on the slopes of Kirkwood is just what you need.

Round Lake
 | This small ''round'' lake is the beginning of the ''Upper Truckee River'' which flows into Lake Tahoe, and the outflow is known simply as the ''Truckee River'' which ends up flowing into Pyramid Lake, in Nevada. Compared to further south in the Sierra Nevada range the local scenery is not as majestic but is indeed pretty, easy to hike and unlike very high altitude locations, offers better campsites. The lake contains one species of trout, the Lahontan Cutthroat. Back in the early 1970's I managed to catch and release a couple dozen specimens weighing between one and two pounds. The fish are classically well-marked and the flesh is a pronounced pink. I have found over several trips that the lake fish are harder to catch than the fish in the outflow canyon. ... |

Grouse Lake
 | 10 miles away Great hiking, the trail starts at Wrights Lake, which is a beautiful lake in its own right, and heads up. If your looking for a good walking trail I would suggest staying on the Wrights Lake ''loop'' trail that circles the lake. But if you want a good hiking/climbing trail the Grouse Lake hike is the one for you. Even in late August the wild flowers were still in bloom and when you reach the top you cannot ask for better views of the surrounding area. From certain points in the trail you can see Ice House Lake as well as looking down on Wrights Lake. I am a bit on the older side so I stop and rest 3-4 times on the way up and it took me a little over 2 hours to reach the top, the last 10-15 minutes were rather steep, but well worth it. There are 2 more lakes beyond Grouse Lake that are an easy walk.... |
Heavenly
 | 11 miles away 4 PHOTOS ...sports destinations on the planet.
A Heavenly vacation is all about choices. With more recreation and entertainment options than any other winter resort destination vying for your attention, you've got plenty of decisions to make.
Do you ski California or Nevada? Do you want jaw-dropping views of incredibly-blue Lake Tahoe, or the stark contrast of the high Nevada desert below? Will it be 34 miles of wide-open, groomed cruisers, 1,600-foot plunges in the double-black canyons or the most outrageous tree skiing in North America? Is it the 80-foot jumps in High Roller Terrain Park, or a thrill ride on the 3,300-foot-long Heavenly Flyer, the longest zip line in the continental U. S. ?
And when the sun goes down, there's a veritable Pandora's Box of choices and temptations. On-mountain exhilaration yields to après ecstasy in the form of Vegas-style action, all-night dance clubs, world-class entertainment and five-star dining.
So what do you choose? Mother Nature? Lady Luck? Or something in between?
Heavenly will test your decision-making like no othe... |
