Trip Advice: Tahoe Region
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:12 pm
Hello,
The family and I are taking a trip up to Tahoe this summer and since we are avid hikers we will be doing plenty of hiking. We are staying in Tahoe Donner where there are numerous small trails that we hike every year but this year we would like to explore some other areas. There are two types of hikes I am looking for: 1) Family Oriented hike (two young children) and 2) one of longer distance with my wife.
Level: Both of us are in great shape and hike on a regular basis
Family Hike (easy-moderate) 4-6 miles round trip.
Adult Hike (easy-strenuous) 7-10 miles round trip
Terain
Trail Hiking
River crossing ok
Main Interest:
Lakes
Creeks
Fishing
Photography
Hiking to or around a lake is a big interest.. A loop would be ideal but not always neccesary. I like to fish so somewhere to throw my pole in would be helpful. I am trying to avoid a long drive to the trailhead so nothing to far out of the way please.
I'm looking in the areas such as South Lake Tahoe, West Lake Tahoe, North Lake Tahoe, Donner, and the Truckee/Tahoe City area.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Scott
