Fisher Lake

Phoenix Lake
Located in the Grouse Non-Motorized Area. No known trails to this lake. See 2008-0720 Entry
The Desert Trail
Very little information on this still in the works Mexico to Canada Route.
The Toiyabe Crest Trail
The longest continuous maintained trail in Nevada.
The Toiyabe Crest Trail is a prime backpacking destination because it travels through one of the longest roadless areas in the state, and sees fewer visitors than many Sierra trails. The Forest Service requires no fees or permits for backpacking in this area, so one may simply park and embark on this 4 - 7 day trip. Trailheads are close to Hwy 376 (which runs between Austin and Tonopah). Detailed route information including location of springs is available by joining a Desert Survivors trip www.desert-survivors.org and from guidebooks such as John Hart's Sierra Club "Hiking the Great Basin" and "Hiking Nevada" by Bruce Grubbs
Snow Mountain
In the Tahoe National Forest near the Royal Gorge of the North Fork of the American River, Devil's Peak and Matrimony Ridge.
We have found a route but there seems to be quite a bit of private land along the route. Need to contact the forest service to see if the route is any good.
