Mount Lola Hike with Truckee Donner Land Trust

From Interstate 80 in Truckee, drive north on Highway 89 approximately 17 miles to Jackson Meadows Road and turn left. Drive about 1.5 miles to a left turn marked “Independence Lake Road”. Turn left onto this graded dirt road, cross the bridge over the Little Truckee River, and proceed to the first right turn (0.8 mi from Jackson Meadows Rd). This unsigned road is Henness Pass Rd, one of the most-used routes across the Sierra during the mid-1800s. In just over 3 miles, the Mt. Lola trailhead parking area is on the left (watch carefully for the sign because it is partially unreadable).
