Lake Tahoe Basin Map

Lake Tahoe Basin MapMany believe that Lake Tahoe was formed by the collapse of an ancient volcanic crater, but the natural lake and mountain basin was actually formed by the rise and fall of the landscape due to faulting.

The Tahoe Basin which spans approximately 22 miles long (and 12 wide), is located on top of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Separating California from Nevada state, a year-round, mountain resort destination. In particular, this is considered the north part of the majestic Eastern Sierra range. Furthermore, Lake Tahoe is often referred to as “Jewel of the Sierra”.camp map

2021 UPDATE: Much of this coastal mountain National Forest was ravaged by wildfire both in 2018 and in 2020, so expect to have limited access for a while.

Ranch Fire (2018), part of the larger Mendocino Complex fire, took out all the southern end of the forest, including the Snow Mountain Wilderness.

459,123 acres burned in 2018

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendocino_Complex_Fire

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Complex_fire

Lightning strike wildfires began in mid-August 2020, wiping out the other half of the forest. With the limited fire fighters during the pandemic, the wildland fires ranged for months, filling the whole of Northern California with thick and toxic smoke. The massive August Complex fire is now the largest in state record – with over a million acres burned.

1,032,648 acres burned in 2020

Needless to say, there will closures on many roads throughout this Mendocino NF region, due to fire cleanup, repairs and salvage logging.  This includes some campgrounds, lakes, and meadows (or glades as they call them).  Contact the local ranger station to find out what is open and when. Gated roads may be found throughout this forest.

REAL OLD VERSION

Atop the California Coastal Range in Northern California, lying in between US Hwy 101 (redwoods) and Interstate 5 (valley), are two prominent peaks: North Yolla Bolly (7863′ elev) and South Yolla Bolly (8092′ elev) which are part of a wilderness area, that has no roads crossing the range and does get some snow. To the north side is Shasta Trinity National Forest and on the south is Mendocino National Forest.

Numerous headwaters begin up here – South fork of Cottonwood Creek (flowing northeast); South fork of the Trinity River (flowing north); Thomes Creek (flowing east), Middle fork of the Eel River (flowing south).
