If you like lakes and you're in this part of California you can check out Stony Ridge Lake. I don't want to stop, cause I'm havin' a good time here at Stony Ridge Lake. Go for a hike on the General Creek Trail, and The Truckee Hotel is a good location to get some rest. An average amount of rainfall falls at Stony Ridge Lake; January is when you get the most snow here; the driest of the months is July. This lake is so wonderful. Good hiking is available along

Stony Ridge Lake. For the period of the days of summer at Stony Ridge Lake highs are ordinarily in the 70's, and during the night it cools down to the 40's. During the wintertime highs are commonly in the 40's; overnight lows
at Stony Ridge Lake all through the wintertime regularly descend into the 10's. Don't leave Stony Ridge Lake without first going for a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 14, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t
go skiing at Sierra at Tahoe since you're here. Very scenic scenery and magnificent skiing is what you get at Homewood, and while here here do stop by nearby Lester Beach. Do go to Shadow Lake in the neighborhood of Stony Ridge
Lake, it's a pretty lake, and time spent at Calawee Cove Beach is always brilliant. This lake is so wonderful. If you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on American River - South Fork,
and camping at Meeks Bay Resort & Marina is always a perfect experience. While you're here at Stony Ridge Lake, you could also check out scenic Cliff Lake, and you're sure to stumble upon some good folks from Gardnerville Ranchos here.

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.... |
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.... |
Pearl Lake

Round Lake
 | 15 miles away 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. ... |

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 destin... |
