Snowshoe Mt. Judah and Donner Peak

Stunning views await you on this hiking trail and snowshoe route in the Northern Sierras, which takes in two separate peaks in just five and half miles. Elevation gain: 1,700ft (7,100 - 8,243ft elevation). This is a moderate hike; though only 5 1/2 miles total, the trek up to Judah is steep. Wear layered, moisture wicking clothing and be sure to bring wind proof outerwear as the top of Mt. Judah is often windy and bitterly cold. Bring a couple of liters of water and snacks or a light lunch. We should get to the parking lot of the ski school near Soda Springs about 9:30 and be back to the cars by 2 at the latest and home by 3:30.
