Can't beat these views! Dogs had a couple of places to get into the water... Don't take the pups if it's 65+ degrees, unless they wear boots as the asphalt will burn their feet! Humans, do yourself a favor and give enough time to fully appreciate the beauty in front of you ❤️ Be aware that dogs are NOT allowed into Sand Cove at the other end, so plan accordingly!

Very easy hike with a beautiful view of Lake Tahoe. It’s a 2 mile hike one way and it’s paved hike. In 1 mile you will get the hidden beach and also find restroom. You can complete the hike round way within 2 hrs. It’s a paid parking of $10.

Amazing trail with breathtaking views!! Perfectly paved. Plenty of room for walkers and cyclists.

This drive has been one of my absolute favorites! Stunning views everywhere! The colors! The peacefulness!! The lake!!!

This is a great trail that has its hills, but isn't overly strenuous! Crosses underneath the road at one point and goes over to beside the lake. A paved path! Bathrooms near the road crossover location.
