Becker Peak & Talking Mountain Day Hike, Tahoe Basin
My hubby and I did a nice day hike to both Becker Peak 8,300 & Talking Mountain 8,824. This is a great short fun hike that takes you to two peaks that have some really pretty views of the Tahoe basin & looking into Desolation. The two peaks sit right above the South side of Echo Lakes. There is a faint on and off trail to Becker Peak which is the 1st peak you get to, and then from Becker to Talking Mountain it is an all xcrountry trying to stay on the ridge as much as possible hike, but having to drop down at times and into some heavy manzanita. We passed a few very beautiful rock formations and rock pinnacles along the ridge to Talking Mountain. it was a perfect day for hiking, just the right temperature and very little wind. A few fall colors we noticed. I did take a few pictures of the hike

I guess Webshots thinks the word Nipple is a bad word Because they would not allow me to use it in my description. So the pointy peak in the distance on the Carson Pass area picture is in fact called The Nipple!!
