This is not a worthwhile stop for hiking. It's just primitive campsites and small mud-bottom lakes. Our dogs kept finding dead fish to roll around in. We left after walking around the lakes in less than 20 minutes. There were mosquitoes and lots of big trucks and dirt bikes to watch out for. The road is a mess, too... Narrow and rocky
Probably one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen with my own eyes. Worth the fun trip up the rocky road. I saw cars and minivans make it up. I recommend a 4wd vehicle just to be safe.
This place is awesome most others were smart and had high clearance 4x4 but I did take my Buick Regal up there…well worth all the tense moments when I was picturing my oil pan leaving…. The lake is awesome! Totally beautiful…. I’d advise to bring firewood because the downed branches are well cleaned up!
Into driving a dirt road for miles up the mountain? How about lots of pot holes, ruts, rocks, twists and turns?! Want beautiful scenery too? Then Alta Lakes is for you!!! After we made it to the top we discovered the campground was almost full…but we found a nice spot on top of a hill. Make sure you come early enough in the day to claim your spot! The lake is beautiful and when it’s dark the sky is bursting with stars! Perfect for a campfire!:) one warning…. Since it’s high altitude-11,000 ft approx. prepare for altitude sickness if your sensitive to it!
