My husband and I took the 2 hour trail ride and had a great ride. Our guide Alyssa (may have spelled her name wrong) was very pleasant to ride with and very knowledgeable of the area we rode through. The trail wound through beautiful scenery and was a little rugged in spots, but the horses were really steady and my husband (very much a beginner at riding) had no trouble negotiating the terrain. We look forward to riding with Piping Rock again next time we’re in the Reno area.

Secret Cove Beach

Reviewed By CoachDaddy85 - Ocean City, United States

Fairly easy hike from road parking. Alternative parking in chimney cove - easy walk from there along access road then a well defined path to the cove. People were discreet and cool. Will return.

Not too challenging, and good for the entire family. Great way to bike from Squaw into town, have lunch, visit Commons beach and bike back again.

Sand Harbor

Rocky coves and boulders to jump off of are the primary features of this beach.

Reviewed By RevfromCA - Sacramento, United States

This is a beautiful state park well worth the $10 entrance fee along the east shoreline of Lake Tahoe. You can use the entrance fee the same day to visit Cave Rock state park as well which is closer to South Lake Tahoe. The walking paths along the shore of Sand Harbor are very nice and the scenery is excellent. Check out the visitors center as well.

We had a great experience with two children ages 6 and 9 and one adult. All had never skied downhill before. Took lessons in the morning and skied the rest of the day for 3 days. Nice choice of slopes. Very well organized parking, check in, and equipment rental.
