West end of Donner Lake from Glacier Way Trail @ Johnson Canyon Overlook. Really nice hike with an early payoff-GREAT views of Donner Summit, Castle Peak & surrounding mountains. Share the trail w/lots of mountain bikers!

Easygoing wide trail
Nice wide trail. Some snow still melting first week of May.
Picnic table at the top, with a panoramic view!

The trail continues onto the Donner Lake Rim trail (or just turn around like we did)
