Unsurpassed Beauty - Marlee’s Fave! $1125 per person
3 Spaces Available - Beta Trip Cost is $300
Desolation Wilderness is well known for its nearly 64,000 acres of granite beauty and more than 130 alpine lakes.
Each night is spent on the shores of one of these beautiful Alpine lakes.
The first day of this trip is moderately challenging as we begin at Glen AlpineTrailhead and head straight up the granite trail. First stop is Gilmore Lake. Swimming and beauty abound. We remain at Gilmore Lake for two nights as the second day the entire group hikes to the top of Mt. Tallac. It’s a great starter peak for any middle schooler! Although our trail leaders have an idea of each nights camp location, it’s not uncommon for the group to select a new destination. Our last night will be spent back at Gilmore lake before we head back down the trail.
The final day of hiking is a breeze as Trekkers are excited to see their parents and join the entire group for post trip ice cream
