Marvel at this perfect chain of alpine lakes jostled between snow-tipped summits.
With the Sierra's highest trailhead, there's no need to earn your elevation here.
West of Lake Tahoe, jaunt to Eagle Lake and points beyond from Emerald Bay, or do
a longer day hike to scale the pinnacle of Mt Tallac. The glacially polished landscape
of this easy-to-reach wilderness makes it well worth the crowds.
