Alpine Meadows Vacation Rentals

Alpine Meadows is the next valley over from Olympic Valley, and it has retained the natural beauty of an area left largely untouched by man. In the winter, almost anything you can see is skiable. If you’re feeling daring, ask a local to point out spots so secret that the snow there remains untouched for days after a storm. In the summer, hiking the Five Lakes trail is a must. It takes hikers into the Granite Chief Wilderness area, which covers the land between the two great valleys.
