Shirley Lake, Squaw Valley
My first time hiking to Shirley Lake at Squaw Valley and I’ll definitely be doing it again. It’s a awesome trail to do, lots of different terrain and some amazing views of Squaw Creek and the Resort at Squaw Creek in the distance.
The Squaw Valley web site describes this hike as High Camp to Shirley Lake & down Shirley Canyon. However, doing the hike in reverse, starting at the base of Squaw Valley Village and hiking up Shirley Canyon to Shirley Lake and then on to the Squaw Valley High Camp, is a more strenuous approach.
A well deserved beer was had at Squaw Valley High Camp at the end of the hike, and the cable car ride back down, although lazy, was a welcome treat and provide some great views of the area.
The hike was well trodden and several folks were on the trail - it was a July 4th weekend - but I would highly recommend this trail.
As for the photo I love the reflection of the mountain in the lake!
