Alpine Meadows
Alpine Meadows Listings, Condos and Homes
A wonderful area to retreat to, located away from Tahoe City(like Tahoe City is busy), by about 10 minutes, but boast the famous Alpine Meadow Ski Resort,  which creates a lot of activity in the winter. Alpine Meadows Ski Resort has been here for decades and offers 2400 acres of terrain.

  In the summer Alpine offers a fantastic area to hike. The popular Five Lakes hike starts right there.
Located in the Sierra Nevada crest between the famous ski areas of Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, the shallow basin of Five Lakes sits in an easily accessible corner of the Granite Chief Wilderness. Although you hike up 1,000 feet of elevation in about 2 miles, it is still a fairly easy and popular hike, its a good hike to take in the early morning or early evening because those granite rocks can create a lot of heat. Not only is the hike to Five Lakes a good leg stretcher, you will also see granitic bedrock to volcanic rocks and ski resorts to pristine wilderness. If the day is warm and you have worked up a sweat, the lake, albeit they are cold, they will refresh. The USDA Forest Service strongly discourages hikers from bringing your 4 legged pets to Five Lakes, so heed the principles of Zero Impact.
There are many homeowners here who call Alpine Meadows home all year around. Expect to accumulate lots of snow in the winter, and the melt off can take a while, but when the wildflower come into bloom and you are hiking up Hot Wheels Gully and experience them, it makes it all worth it. Lots of wildlife call Alpine Meadows home also. While hiking on the slopes in the past, I have experienced seeing marmots and grouse, just to mention a few. Located at the entrance to Alpine Meadows on Alpine Meadows Road are 2 great places to eat, River Ranch and the Pacific Crest Cafe. Come experience and enjoy!
