MAP NOTE What's important for our general reference purpose is that each side of a square is 1000 meters, or a Kilometer. From my point of view that is 1093.6 yards or .62 of a mile. Diagonal: 1414.22 meters, if my trig is correct. That converts the diagonal distance into 4,639.8 feet or .88 of a mile.

Highway 4 Corridor
Important Points and Resources

View Highway 4: Ebbetts Pass, Lake Alpine, and Bear Valley Road Map in a larger map |
As Highway 4 marks the end of this section hiking down the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail I have added this roadmap so we can put surrounding roadmarks into context. For instance, our Tahoe to Yosemite Trail route crossing Highway 4 is about 15 miles West of where the Pacific Crest Trail crosses Highway 4 at Ebbetts Pass. Between here and there we have a couple of good entry points along Highway 4 hiking South into the heart of the Carson Iceberg Wilderness through Pacific Valley and Highland Lakes Roads. These are great places to begin or end long backpacking trips looping around the Carson Iceberg. The upcoming Carson Iceberg Wilderness is as fun to walk loops around as it is to walk across... |
