Eagle Rock Hiking Trail

Reviewed By emorga - Rome, United States

This is a relatively easy trail to climb Its a little rough at the top navigating rocks as it loses it clear definition as a trail. Very enjoyable with lots of families having a fun outing

Truckee River Legacy Trail

Reviewed By johnsD576GV

A stroll along the river before dinner, well worth taking the time to relax and feel nature. There is no difficulty to this paved path.

Kirkwood Mountain Resort

This spectacular Sierra ski resort has a base elevation at 7,800 feet that is open for great skiing during the winter season, and great hiking trails in the summer.

Reviewed By Alilu007 - Menlo Park, United States

While out of the way from South Lake Tahoe, would definitely recommend the trip for a full day of skiing on the weekend. Kirkwood is the most challenging out of the three on the Epic pass and is great for getting you out of your comfort zone. The terrain is definitely unique compared to Northstar and Heavenly. It is exposed, not a lot of trees or folds in the mountains, and so you can see people skiing from very far away, which makes the lifts more entertaining! Solitude lift gets crowded with intermediate skiiers as it only services blues, but the line is shorter on the Reut lift, and some of those blacks are pretty comparable to other blues on the mountain. On days when it’s not icy, my favorite run is Conestoga, off the Reut. Lower Monte Wolfe off Solitude is also not too crowded. Lifts opened with staggered times, so the back side can get crowded in the late mornings. There also are no single riders lines.

Rainbow Trail

For an easier hike, this handicapped-accessible paved trail provides signs for a self-guided tour.

Reviewed By Christina1119 - New Orleans, United States

The short 1/2 mile walk takes you through different areas & sights. In parts you see the fish spawning & beaver damns. The Aspen Grove were in their foliage change. It leads you into an under ground area where you can view fish & Information about the habitats of the animals in the area. It connects to Taylor Creek which had many viewing areas to see lots of fish. Great walk and a nice area.
