This geocache marks a trail that is NOT on many online maps (not on the geocaching.com maps, for instance), but is a convenient route to reach Lower and Upper Angora Lakes from South Lake Tahoe during the winter months when the main Angora Lakes access road is closed, or whenever one wishes to do a scenic hike close to the city. Along the way, the trail features a splendid view of the North Upper Truckee area, with Freel Peak in the distance. See photo below.
We started the hike at the Seneca Drive trailhead, at N 38°52.003 W 120°02.501. Another convenient trailhead is on Mule Deer Circle at N38 52.966 W120 02.463. Whichever trailhead you select, hike to N 38°52.397 W 120°02.895 (an additional waypoint below), which is where the trail starts uphill to Angora Lakes.
