Carson Pass / Winnemucca Lake - August 19, 2017
This moderate 6-mile out and back hike begins at Carson Pass with a gentle climb through the forest featuring filtered glimpses of Round Top Mountain. About a half mile into the hike, Frog Lake will appear on your left, then an open area brimming with vibrant colorful wildflowers scattered as far as the eye can see. Off in the distance is Caples Lake. We'll have lunch at lovely Winnemucca Lake where some of the hardy ones may want to go fo ra dip. On the way home an optional stop is Baskin Robbins in Placerville.
