Albanita Trail

The trail begins off Forest Road 21S36A and travels northeast for about 3 miles to Albanita Meadow. This trail travels through the South Sierra Wilderness, has little elevation change, and provides very little water. For a longer day hike, this trail ties in with either the Hooker Meadow Trail at the southwest end of Albanita Meadow or the Lost Meadow Trail 35E04 at the southeast end of the meadow. The section of trail that is outside the wilderness is open to hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and motorcycle riding.
