ARC board member Scott Vail will lead this 11-mile loop hike to Shadow Lake, southeast of Loon Lake off Luther Pass.

The hike begins at Tells Creek trailhead off Icehouse Rd. and climbs over 5 miles to Shadow Lake. Wildflowers should be abundant, and the views are excellent. This is a difficult hike due to the altitude, grown-over trail in places, and fallen logs. Participants should be in good hiking shape.

Well-behaved dogs on leash OK. Fit children ages 14+ welcome.

Meeting location Gold Hill/Placerville area. FREE. A detailed email will be sent once you register online.
