Mokelumne Wilderness

Mokelumne Wilderness is 105,000 acres of Sierra granite, alpine lakes, and volcanic ridges straddling the Eldorado and Stanislaus National Forests. Named for the Miwok people’s river, this rugged terrain offers solitude that nearby Tahoe can’t match. Fewer selfie-seekers, more wildflowers and golden trout. It’s where the Pacific Crest Trail cuts through without fanfare, where meadows stretch between peaks, and where wilderness still means something. Rep the lands that reward those who venture beyond the parking lot.
