Info on Castle Peak area, Donner Summit... Warren Lake Trail

Post by mfassett »

Hey everyone, thinking of heading in to Warren Lake with a bunch of friends, wondering if anyone has been in the area north of Donner Summit recently. There was a report of a lot of snow a few weeks ago on another site, wondering if anyone has visited more recently? We were thinking of going in a week and hoping for a reasonable amount of snowmelt and maybe the disappearance of mosquitos. (LOL).

Let me know what you know please!

Viewed from the Mount Rose area on July 24, there appeared to be a lot of snow still in the bowl on the east side of Castle Peak to Basin Peak, mostly above 8000 feet. But that was two weeks ago.
