I had to move my site due to Tripods new policy of only providing 20 megs of free space, my site currently uses the old maximum at nearly 49 megs. As you may have noticed my site was also being shut down on a daily basis due to exceeding Tripod's new bandwidth policy--but hey what could I expect for free. It was fun while it lasted.

In the coming weeks I hope to release the new format of Alpinejo-Backcountry Trails Guide with a new database and searching capabilities.

Thanks for visiting!

Dewey Lake Definition of terms below Location: William O. Douglas Wilderness Directions: Head east on  Hwy 410 head just over Chinook Pass and park near the summit Difficulty: Easy Elevation +/- 200 ft elevation gain Distance: 10+ Miles Roundtrip Rating: 8 out of 10 Fishing: Did not try Scenery: great, it was snowing good Map: Printable Topo Map   Dewey Lake is worth a weekend visit. I am sure people flock to this lake in the summer, because of the easy access. We decided to go up here as our first outing together. As it worked out we managed to find some snow and enjoy some fine scenery. We did not go all the way to the lake because as we approached the decent to the lake the wind almost was blowing us over, making the snow feel like people throwing rocks at your face. We did see 2 guys elk hunting, but that was the extent of people. I may go back someday and hike on past Dewey Lake and try my luck at fishing the American River down to Hwy 410.  Fishing-- did not try.  Do it again?
