Best Trails in El Dorado National Forest

Hard ,but worth it experience.is a long trail with amazing spots to stop for snacks and enjoy the natural beauty.

Shealor Lake seems to be a popular spot on the weekends, mostly day hikers. If you're planning to stay, there aren't many established campsites and parking is scarce. However, we hiked in early on Saturday, spent one night and had an awesome time.

Love this trail

Beautiful view of the water fall and my kids 17 and 7 loved it. Definitely would say trail is kinda on the rough side for hikeing or walking due to the hard winter. But it's still enjoyable and worth seeing!

Omg!!!! Beautiful!!!!! Best hike I've been on!

Great Trail had a great adventure River was too high to cross but we hiked up higher stayed with the river and had a great time will be going back when the river is lower so we can get to Lake Margaret

Easy hike to gorgeous views of bassi falls, highly recommend!

Great hike! Towards the top the trails gets hard to follow but it was worth the scavenger hunt! :)

I loved this trail! It is a little difficult, especially because of the snowfall you have to pass through some mini waterfalls. (But it is very do-able)
I hiked this trail last week and couldn't get to the lake because the trail was covered in snow. We still got a beautiful view and had a mini snowball fight! It was worth it to me, but if you feel like you need a destination to hike too then maybe try this trail in late July or August when the snow melts!

Beautiful. Enjoyable and not difficult. The markings can be a challenge for those less familiar with hiking trails. However, there is plenty of company for folks to find their way. The water is running fast and high right now...absolutely gorgeous.
