Review:
Hiking around Truckee offers a chance for mountain views and wonderful vistas, and the Mt Judah Loop Trail in particular is a great choice for family trips. The hike begins from the trailhead at the junction of Donner Summit Rd and Old Donner Pass Road, off Highway 40. During the spring and summer this hike is surrounded with wildflowers, and the afternoon lighting points towards Donner Lake, a highlight of the trail. Only hikers and dogs are allowed on this 4.6 mile round trip hike, but tech savvy hikers will enjoy being allowed to bring their drones for photo and filming excursions. Map
