GPS Race #3: Desolation Wilderness

Our third TrackMe360 GPS Race takes place in the Desolation Wilderness, near Wrights Lake, off Hwy50 between Placerville and South Lake Tahoe. Three courses of varying degrees of challenge (short, medium and long) have been designed to showcase the best the area has to offer, with moderate vertical gain and some cross country travel. The navigational challenge is partly about route choice but also about cross country navigation and efficient route finding across complicated terrain. The short course will offer more on-trail options, than the other courses.  The venue is nothing short of spectacular. The courses takes you through coniferous forest lands, through sparsely tree covered granite slab slopes onto steeper, rockier alpine terrain. On the long course, a little snow remains up high, and can be used to the racers advantage. Many streams and lakes are encountered on the course- water is plentiful. The long course features an epic ridge traverse with views both into the Lake Tahoe basin and the Central Valley.
