Alta Lakes Campground

 

Overnight Camping at Alta Lakes, near the Alta mining ghost town. The site we chose is a short walk from Alta Lakes and next to a lesser known lake called Wild Boy. It is a beautiful campsite secluded in the forest while still having mountain vista and sunset views toward Lizardhead Pass.
