All year is a delightful time in the Northern Sierra Nevada if you adore the outdoors. If you need a spot to stay Holiday Inn Express TRUCKEE is a glorious choice; glide down the rapids of Yuba River - South Fork in a kayak. You assume that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Fordyce Creek; why not take a refreshing hike along the Long Valley Trail. Not far from Ice Lakes, you'll discover Serena Lake which is a scenic lake;

here at Ice Lakes. Ice Lakes is a wet place that gets a great deal of precipitation; the wettest month of the year is commonly January, that's the one that rains the most, and July is when it's the driest. This lake is so wonderful.
Gotta ski! Boreal is a tremendous site to do that; if you came to camp Onion Creek Campground is a nice spot to do that. Everybody nearby loves skiing at Soda Springs. This lake is so wonderful. Upper Castle Creek is a nice local
stream; the Heath Falls Overlook Trail offers hiking at its best. So much enjoyable stuff to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada, too fine to be true. There's so much to do here at Ice Lakes that you need to camp here for a while,
Van Norden Campground is a tremendous site for that, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop by nearby Dulzura Lake.
