  • The Best of NileGuide
  • Hiking is one of the top things to do in Lake Tahoe during the summer and fall. There are tons of hiking areas around the Tahoe Basin. Some of the most popular being Desolation Wilderness, the Mt. Rose summit hike and the Tahoe Rim Trail. test

    However, you can also get off the beaten track with a hike up to Winnemucca Lake or a hike to Marlette Lake or on portions of the Pacific Crest Trail. For families, the Eagle Falls trails, the Spooner Lake Trail or the Rubicon Trail might be the easiest, while more experienced hikers might want to take the trail from Echo Lakes to Aloha Lake or up the steep climb to Mt. Tallac.

    If you want to keep it simple, there are several nature trails around the Tahoe Meadows, Fallen Leaf Lake or Donner Lake, where the autumn colors will make you slow down and enjoy the warm fall weather.
