Sabrina Basin to Donkey Lake Trail

Sabrina Basin to Donkey Lake Trail’s distance and elevation incline make it a moderately difficult route. As such, it is likely not appropriate for beginner hikers and families with young children. Sabrina Basin to Donkey Lake Trail is rather steep in some sections, so it is recommended that you wear good hiking shoes.

Having made it to the trailhead, follow the Sabrina Basin Trail as it makes its way alongside the shoreline of Lake Sabrina. After crossing a creek, the route will veer away from the eastern shore of the lake and arrive at a junction within the trail. At the junction, take the southern pathway as it leads you up a series of switchbacks. The Sabrina Basin to Donkey Lake Trail will then straighten out while continuing to incline in elevation.

The route will soon deliver you to Blue lake. Passing adjacent to the western shore of the lake, the route will arrive at a second junction. Take the eastern pathway and follow it as it takes you over two creeks and brings you to Donkey Lake. Enjoy the nice sightlines and perhaps stop for some lunch! When you’re ready, simply backtrack your steps towards the trailhead and your waiting vehicle.
