Alta Lakes 2.0

Alta Lakes is mostly a long gravel road, but the areas in Gold King Basin and around Alta Lakes are interesting.

You pass through the old townsite of Alta.  There are a few old buildings remaining, although some of them are private and cannot be visited.

Turn right into Gold King Basin on your way up to the lakes.  

Spend some time exploring around the lakes.  This Jeep trail will take you on a little used trail, but there are other campsite roads as well.  This extension around the lakes may be a 2.5.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.
