About

Mount Disney is a summit of 7,956 feet in the Truckee Ranger District of Tahoe National Forest in California, about 3 miles from the town of Soda Springs. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Sagehen Creek weather station, about 11 miles away, show July highs around 80°F with lows near 37°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. The Overland Trail starts just 0.4 miles away, and Ana's Chute, a mountain biking route, is under a mile off. Milton Reservoir, a lake fishing spot, is about a mile away, and the Goldilocks Wall climbing area is roughly 1.7 miles from the summit.
