Sierra Nevada — Cottonwood Lakes

Three ways to travel the range

Hiking

Trail days measured in hours and honest elevation, not step counts. Every route is walked by a guide before it is offered.

Camping

Nights above treeline where the sky earns its reputation. Tents, stoves and bear canisters are ours to carry and pitch.

Horseback

Stock from local pack stations carries camp to the lakes — or carries you. Riding turns a hard second day into an easy one.
