Lake Tahoe-Hike Year Round With a Local
Overview
I would love to be your Tahoe local friend and lead you on a 2 mile hike to a beautiful overlook of Emerald Bay and the ENTIRE Lake Tahoe basin. Need more reassurance? Check out the 200+ reviews of me on Airbnb experiences! In my 25 years of living here, I have explored many of the trails and much of shoreline around Tahoe and this vantage point is one of my favorites. Also available for the sunrise, sunset, and/or moonrise! Great for groups and team building. Intermediate-level hike available too. I am happy to try and accommodate mobility challenged/differently abled folks on the hike.
The experience begins with a paved walk on a campground road. Then the trail turns to dirt with a slight incline for about ¼ mile until we get to the lookout point. If you are visiting Tahoe during the winter time, the hike will most likely be covered in snow. Snow boots or hiking boots will be needed. I can bring a sled to help tow the kiddos. The hike may be weather dependent due to heavy snowfall.
What's Included
- Snacks Trail mix, fruit, fresh squeezed lemonade in the summer and hot chocolate in the winter.
- Photos- I will take many photos of my guests during the hike.
