Popular Trips in Lake Tahoe
Went out with Andy to do some geocaching up the Granite Chief and Pacific Crest Trails. After finding the 2 caches we headed to High Camp and took the tram down. Officially, you are supposed to pay $10 for the trip down. But if you don't hesitate just walk onto the tram. Keeping a phone to your ear might help. There are at least 4 caches along this route.The last section on...

This was my first trip into Desolation Wilderness and it was exactly what I had hoped.... except for the beginning when I forced to park in the "overflow" parking and walk a mile on asphalt to get to the trailhead. Wrights Lake is packed with people and it was a little unnerving until I hit the trail. They soon thinned out as the trail ascended and I saw only a few other...
Our Monday hiking group made the trek to this amazing little lake. The shear face of the rock formation that buttes up against the water's edge is like no other.
