     This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Cascade Lakes that you need to camp here for a while, Cold Springs Campground is a magnificent place for that, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Heath Falls Overlook Trail. Dry warm beds await you at Holiday Inn Express TRUCKEE, and a gorgeous lake like Kidd Lake is a magnificent place to pop by. This place, the Northern Sierra Nevada, has so much outdoors enjoyable stuff. Gotta ski! Boreal is  
   a great location to do that, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Cascade Lakes; Lola Montez Trail is a good local trail.

Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! Cascade Lakes is excellent!
