     Shadow Lake is a nice lake to visit. All year is a great time in the Northern Sierra Nevada if you like the outdoors. Get soaked paddling on Silver Creek - South Fork, and if you've had enough of Shadow Lake, Lake Winifred is close by. This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Village at Squaw Valley is a tremendous place to spend a night or two, and hiking along the Loon Lake Trail is splendid fun. This spot is excellent, just explore all the amusing  
   things to do near Shadow Lake. Float down the rapids of American River - South Fork in a kayak, and Shadow Lake is right by the Highland Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. What would winter be without some skiing at Homewood, and camping at Pleasant Boat-In Campground is always a pleasant experience. So many fun things to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada, too nice to be true. You could also stop at Forni Lake since you're here at Shadow Lake; it's close
 
               by, and Squaw Valley Lodge is a wonderful place to get some rest. Shadow Lake is located in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
Very delightful scenery and delightful skiing is what you get at Alpine Meadows, and do take a hike on the Red Peak Trail.

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....

Pearl Lake
Pearl Lake is the most beautiful, ittle lake you could ever camp or fish at. When you park your vehicle at Wrights Lake and hike past Beauty towards Pearl, you will have officially crossed into Desloation Wilderness...and God's country!...

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....

Onion Creek Campground
17 miles away
You cannot get close to this campground in January under 10+ feet of snow. Sure its 3.5 miles from Ice Lakes Lodge on a bumpy dirt road, getting to some of the other spots they mentioned would be quite a trek especially if not in a 4x4 or dirt bike. Very rugged terrain....

...es. 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 destination- choose wisely. There are only so many hours in a day … and...
