General Notes:
Pleasant
trail which travels through an area heavily shaded most of the way by
pine trees. You are very close to Lake Tahoe for the entire
trek,
but there are no true views of the lake itself. It is a very
peaceful setting and easy stroll. There are also about 10
geocaches along the way to check out as well. |
