Desolation Wilderness Flight Plan

The Desolation Wilderness trip will follow the Pacific Crest Trail from Hwy 50 and Echo Lakes up to Lake Aloha. Friday night we will camp off of 50. On Saturday morning we will leave from Hwy 50 and hike about 6 miles in to Lake Aloha; we'll gain about 800 feet. On Sunday we will hike out by the same route.

The group going will be Tom McGinley, John Chute, and Matt and Janet Davis. Thanks for the company guys!

The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is in charge of Desolation Wilderness/El Dorado National Forest. They can be reached at (530) 543-2600. If we don't make it out by Monday, please call them and send a rescue party.
