A Brief Introduction To Lake Aloha

If you live in California or you're heading there - specifically to the Sierra Nevada mountain range surrounding the Lake Tahoe basin, Lake Aloha is a popular destination for hikers in the Desolation Wilderness.

The hike to Lake Aloha is can be a challenging one.  I'd definitely label it rigorous if you haven't done much hiking or backing.  It involves a significant elevation gain and can be quite rocky in some areas (to the point where rolling your ankles and sliding around quite a bit will be the rule not the exception as you make your way to your travel destination).

To reach Lake Aloha, you'll need to start at the Echo Lakes trailhead (which is located off of CA Highway 50, at the summit, which is located just up the hill and west of South Lake Tahoe). From the trailhead, you'll follow the Pacific Crest Trail south for about 1.5 miles before reaching the spur trail that leads to Lake Aloha. From there, it's about another 3 miles to the lake, with an elevation gain of around 1,500 feet.

Overall, the hike to Lake Aloha is about 11 miles round trip, and it can take anywhere from 6 to 8 hours to complete, depending on your pace. Be sure to bring plenty of water, as the water sources can be limited along the trail depending on the time of year and recent weather conditions. It's also a good idea to bring some snacks and a packed lunch, as there are no amenities at the lake.

The hike to Lake Aloha is a beautiful one, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and alpine lakes. It's a great way to get out and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Just be prepared for a long and challenging hike, and be sure to be mindful of minimizing your footprint during the time you spend there, so future generations can see Mother Nature in the rugged beauty this area offers.
