Lake Forest Drive is a climbing area in California, about 1.5 miles from the town of Lakeshore. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with Beeks Bight about 1.6 miles away and the Pioneer Express Trail and Goose Flat Trail both roughly 1.9 miles off. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Auburn weather station show May and October highs around 77°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. That station sits about 538 feet lower than the drive, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Other climbing areas within a short drive include Folsom, about 5.8 miles away, and Pacific Street Wall, about 6.5 miles away.
