    What a nice lake Cathedral Lake is. And if that's not enough there's heaps more cool things to do in the Northern Sierra Nevada. American River - South Fork has a delightful whitewater paddling spot close by, and a day at lovely Baldwin Beach near Cathedral Lake is a pleasant thing to do. Just can't get enough of the Northern Sierra Nevada. Fallen Leaf Dam is a pretty place right next door to Cathedral Lake, and you can have a great hiking adventure along the General  
   Creek Trail. A cool spot to stop by near Cathedral Lake is Cathedral Peak, and there are other spots here than Cathedral Lake, for example Floating Island Lake.
Cathedral Lake is located in the Northern Sierra Nevada. This lake is so wonderful. Cathedral Lake is a tremendous location to visit for more than one day, Baldwin Beach Campground is a tremendous location to camp nearby, and if you want to play some golf, you're in luck because Tahoe Paradise Golf
 
               Course is in the vicinity. You'll wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the enjoyable stuff at Cathedral Lake. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Homewood while you're here, and some of the water close by flows, like Cathedral Creek.
Throughout the summer months here at Cathedral Lake, high temperatures generally get into the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures descend down into the 40's. High temperatures during the wintertime are normally in the 40's with winter lows in the 10's overnight here at Cathedral Lake. While you're here at Cathedral Lake you can take a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 14; there are plenty of folks from Gardnerville Ranchos here. What would winter be without some skiing at Sierra at Tahoe; do take a hike on the Hawley Grade Trail.
Don't stop me now, cause I'm havin' a tremendous time here at Cathedral Lake. If you need a location to stay Pine Cone Acre Motel is a great choice, and Kiva Beach is a striking beach to check out. This lake is so wonderful. Taking a little tour to nearby Sawmill Core is a tremendous idea, and a wonderful sight of pretty Angora Peak is available. An average amount of rainfall falls at Cathedral Lake; most of the snow falls through January; July is the month with the least moisture.
A tour to Cathedral Lake wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Glen Alpine Spring. This lake is so wonderful.

Grouse Lake
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....

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. ...

Lake Number Three

Lake #3 lies a couple of miles inside the Desolation Wilderness Boundary. Upon arrival, you find yourself along a lake which is beautifully cradled against the Crystal mountain range. On a clear day, you can see well into the Sacramento Valley and beyond. Clear days in the valley are few and far between in the summer though. Absolutely beautiful destination for a hike....

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 other winter destinatio...
