Guided Hike to Donner Summit Canyon
Carmen, your real estate consultant for Truckee, North and West Lake Tahoe shares her passion with the community by providing monthly guided hikes, and snowshoe trips through our beautiful backyard of endless trail systems.
Join us on a hike to Donner Summit Canyon!
Make sure to check that the hike’s characteristics (elevation gain, length and route type) meet your abilities here.
Directions:
From Truckee, proceed West on Donner Pass Road along the North Shore of Donner Lake. As you approach the West end of Donner Lake, go past South Shore Drive and continue up along Old Highway 40 towards Donner Summit. The trail head and parking area is on the left, roughly 1/3 of a mile from South Shore Drive (If you reach the winter closure gate, you have gone too far). You can also hike from Donner Summit down to the parking are. If you do, be sure to park legally near the Pacific Crest Trail trailhead.
