Mt. Lola, Webber Falls, & Sierra Hot Springs

X-Post with the Bay Area Crew!

Mt. Lola is the high point for Nevada County and the highest Sierra peak north of I-80. The hike is about 10.4mi round trip with 2300ft elevation gain. (More Info Here). The plan for the hike is to show up at the TH around 10:30AM on Saturday July 19. (Driving Directions from the Bay Bridge). Get up early (worth it!) or stay Friday Night at a nearby campground (check out the spots along the Little Truckee River - or ask me for some dispersed camping recommendations). The view from the top is awesome!

After the hike, let's check out nearby Webber Falls! Cold water dippers might like to scramble down to the pool at the bottom.

Saturday night I'm camping at Sierra Hot Springs. You can either choose the Evening Soak (after 4PM) option if you plan on heading out / camping elsewhere Saturday Night. Or you can get a camping pass (which lets you stay/soak all night until 2PM Sunday). Either way - if you want to visit Sierra Hot Springs you have to reserve a spot with them ahead of time (no drop ins). Possibility that they sell out too.

I don't know the new boss of this meetup group but in the past I've asked for $5 donations to send to the meetup leader to help support the site (I'm a former Meetup organizer so I know how it is). I'll figure out how to Venmo them.

For the hike - do be prepared with all you need for a long hike (water, snacks, sun protection, good shoes, etc.). There is a stream crossing half way in so you can filter water there. I hope the wildflowers are out!
