Overview

This is a moderate loop trail to Phipps Pass in Desolation Wilderness.

This trail goes by Crag Lake, Shadow Lake, Stony Ridge Lake 1-032 Dam, Rubicon Lake, Lake Genevieve, and Meeks Bay Resort RV and Tent Sites.

As of July 2019: For the first half mile east of the PCT, the Genevieve Trail is very overgrown and difficult to follow. Be prepared to do some bushwacking and route finding.

    Great mixture of Tahoe terrain! The unmaintained section is a nice change of head space, yet well marked as of late, with a keen eye!
