I've done 2 of the trails from this trailhead. Take the Eagle Lakes exit off of I-80 just West of Donner pass. Go north off of the exit and after about 3/4mi. there is a right turn that goes to the trailhead. You're good when you see this

Then there are a few options. The trails go anywhere from medium to wild.

The Signal Peak trail starts out with a sick climb that's like a rockgarden for about 2 miles then it's easy. Bring a locker and armor. You can make a loop that goes back to I-80 at Cisco grove or you can go to some harder trails.

The Eagle Lakes / Grouse Ridge / Meadow Lake Trail Head goes some great places and there are some climbs that have detours because only creepy crawler can make it through. I went to Eagle Lakes; the shortest of the trails. Some good-ol'-boys told us the Grouse Ridge and Meadow Lake trails only got crazier. Of course they were in old Toyota PUs or Jeeps with 4:1 transfers and 35" tires and LOTS of travel.

Here are some pics of the mild stuff. I didn't get very many of the X beause i was so busy helping that Jeep get up the hill. He didn't have a locker. The OR X kicks butt! He did get the best pic of the day, though doing his flexy up-on-the-rock trick (bottom).

It was sweet. My friend with the Jeep is from MN. His Brother flew out to go on that trip with us. Of course thier name is Olson, oh ya.

That's a great place for wheeling. Northern California is one of my favorites.

What did your X run into? It sure looks ugly

Ha ha. Well, I had to go in case that Jeep needed to be pulled out.
