Lake Aloha is a large shallow backcountry reservoir located at an elevation of 8,116 ft (2,474 m) in the Sierra Nevada Range, west of Lake Tahoe in El Dorado County, in eastern California.

The shortest and easiest approach is from Echo Lake by the Pacific Crest Trail.

Alternately, it can be reached by the Glen Alpine Springs Trailhead, near the city of South Lake Tahoe.

From the south, Lake Aloha can be reached by the Ralston Peak Trail or cross country through Horsetail Falls and Desolation Valley.

To reach the base of Price and Pyramid Peaks, in the Crystal Range of the Sierra Nevada, you have to traverse the Lake Aloha area.
