Moderately tough hike (beyond the tree line, it is just rocks and boulders). Beautiful views of all the lakes around the mountain. Amazing 360 view of the Lake Tahoe at the summit.Full review by sheetalamit

Would you recommend bringing children? How difficult is the trail?
A:
I would not bring kids under 12. This is a 10 mile hike, so I guess it depends on the kids. Hike to first lake is about 1.5 miles, it’s nice. Get there and then decide if you want to …
I would not bring kids under 12. This is a 10 mile hike, so I guess it depends on the kids. Hike to first lake is about 1.5 miles, it’s nice. Get there and then decide if you want to try to get to the next lake (maybe another 1.5 miles up?) Past 2nd lake we lost trial and difficulty level went up! But there was still a ton of snow. Good luck.
We are looking to go june 20-24 would we be able to hike the trail due to the snow. Can u still navigate with snow? Seeing if it would be do able at this time looks like an amazing hike.
A:
It depends on the year and amount of snow. We generally plan on August, but some tears end of June is possible. You cannot use the trail if there is still significant snow

Hello, We had an incredible amount of snow this year that will make it very difficult to hike in April or May. I agree with layering and bringing enough water. Even if your not thirsty because of the cold...you have to drink water. Take essentials just in case you get in a difficult situation or meet someone who needs help. Finally, fuel your body. Enjoy but be careful.
We are going to be in Tahoe around mid March 2019. Is this area completely covered in snow? Is it even worth coming to Tahoe when it is that cold?
A:
It really depends on the snowfall this season but I would plan on there being snow. Tahoe is still beautiful and fun when covered in snow, you just might have to change activities. Some …
It really depends on the snowfall this season but I would plan on there being snow. Tahoe is still beautiful and fun when covered in snow, you just might have to change activities. Some people snow shoe mountains in the winter and love it!
