Day Hike (2C). Mt. Lola Trail (Sacramento Group)

At high elevation, this scenic alpine trail enjoys cooler temperatures even on Sacramento's hottest summer days. We'll climb moderately and steadily upward through thick coniferous forests, past open meadows and wildflowers, along a sparkling mountain stream, to the summit. Panoramic views of the Sierra Divide can be seen from the top at 9143' above sea level. Not especially difficult or dangerous for a high-country mountain trail, and the elevation gain is fairly well smoothed-out over the length of the trail. Still, at 10 miles long, 2,500' elevation gain, this hike can be challenging. Drive to the trailhead includes approx. 4 miles of well-maintained dirt roads. Leader: Martin Farber, 7O7, two five three, 96O6, kowsoi [at] juno [dot] com. Contact the leader to join the hike at historic Auburn Courthouse at 8:15. Rain cancels. Dogs OK.
