Any good peaks/lakes in Norcal based on my criteria?
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2014 6:00 am
I am looking to introduce a group of guys into the outdoors. Their physical abilities vary and really my goal is to help them get away from the office and the day-to-day buzz that can weigh any of us down. If anybody knows a good spot based on my criteria, please let me know. I'm mostly interested in a peak because that is my personal favorite, but a subpeak, lake, or other secluded spot would suffice.
Within a three hour drive of Sacramento
Class I or II (minimal, super-easy class III ok on a short section)
Destination is ~1-2 miles from trailhead
No quota for permits or no permit required
Nearby lodging available (motels, cabins, etc)
Preferably has a nice view
The more secluded from tourists/popular routes the better.
I'm open to any suggestions and thanks in advance
