El Dorado County, California brings together Tahoe shoreline, high Sierra granite, and Gold Country history in one hiking region. Follow the Rubicon Trail above Wentworth Springs Road, climb from Wrights Lake toward Beauty Lake, or head for Lyons Lake and Lake of the Woods on the Pacific Crest Trail. From Jenkinson Lake to the Desolation Wilderness edge, the terrain feels varied, bright, and unmistakably Californian.
