It is summer and there still is snow at the mountains. I did not want to miss an opportunity to play in the white and fresh snow.
Located at the West of Lake Tahoe, Lake Aloha is at the top of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, part of the Desolation Wilderness.
I started the hike at 6000' and gained about 2000'. Going up hill is a challenge and a rock climber's paradise. Once at the top, it was a winter landscape of trees covered with snow. The lake was still a frozen and just a few melted spots where one could see the crystal clear blue water.
The water fall was amazing! I stood up near it to get some fresh water and to cool off from the heat; it was about 80 F.
One of the nicest places to hike. I hiked a total of 11 miles RT and did it in about 5 hours total.
Enjoy the pictures!
