Map Notes
The left, or West side of this 1x2 degree Backpacking Map shows 24.97 miles along the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail from the Carson Gap to Lake Alpine, plus a little extra on both sides.
The right, or East side of the map displays 29.27 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Carson Gap to Ebbetts Pass, in relation to the Western position of the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail.
Both trails run through the Mokelumne Wilderness between Highway 88 and Highway 4, but on different sides of the Sierra Nevada Crest. 13 miles of twisty Highway Four separates their Southern Trailheads.
The El Dorado National Forest administers the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail through the Mokelumne Wilderness in the Western Sierra Nevada while the Pacific Crest Trail is within the Toiyabe National Forest or its Eastern section of the Mokelumne Wilderness.
