Twenty Lakes Basin Trail

The Twenty Lakes Basin trail, nestled within the Hoover Wilderness area, offers a wonderfully scenic experience for you and your dog. Located just a few miles off Highway 120 (on the east side of Tioga Pass), this trail welcomes both two-legged and four-legged adventurers alike.

The loop spans approximately 8 miles and you and your furry friend will be greeted by a myriad of high alpine lakes, enchanting meadows, and jaw-dropping granite peaks along the way. Please note that wilderness permits are required for overnight travel.

To get to the trail from Highway 120, head north on Saddlebag Lake Road until you pass the campground. From there, watch for the parking area near the end of the road next to the dam at Saddlebag Lake.
