About Ludlow Hut
Ludlow Hut is located near Lost Corner Mountain on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, 5.2 miles beyond the Rubicon-McKinney trailhead. Expect approximately 1,100′ of elevation gain. The traditional route follows the summer road along McKinney Creek to Miller Lake, to Richardson Lakes, and the hut at 7,400′. The hut may be difficult to find, being back from the lake and blending with snow and trees. Overnight parking is possible in a residential area at the traditional McKinney Creek trailhead, but hut users should make sure vehicles are well behind snow stakes. Better parking is available at Sugar Pine Point State Park about two miles farther south (for a fee), but this adds mileage to the ski/snowshoe trip and leaves the traveler in a deep, forested canyon for most of the route. Topo map: Homewood 7-1/2′ quad. There are good ski practice areas along the shore of Richardson Lake and in Miller Meadows. Possible day trips are to Sourdough Hill, Lost Corner Mountain, and northern Desolation Wilderness.
