This 165-mile, twenty-four inch, single-track trail is open to hiking, equestrians, and mountain biking (in most areas). The trail encompasses the ridge tops of the Lake Tahoe Basin, crossing six counties, and two states. The Tahoe Rim Trail overlaps with approximately fifty miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.

We stopped by late in the day and started down the trail and it was like being on a movie set waiting for something creepy to happen. I'm sure there were Sand People from Star Wars watching us. Being smart, we realized that hiking an unknown trail with obvious obstacles late in the day wasn't smart, so we just did a partial hike. Our goal was to find hot springs, so we bravely came back EARLY the next day and were rewarded by being the only people on the trail for a while. Lots of really cool scrambles and rope climbs (I admit I was a little sore the next day) and we took the time to soak in a hot spring. There are several so pick your spring. We brought towels and the right things to wear in our packs. The end of the trail is a huge reward as you are right on the Colorado River with a beautiful view of the memorial bridge by Hoover Dam. Perfect place for a picnic (leave nothing but footprints!!!!). So we highly recommend this trail if you actually like to hike and climb and have common sense. It was a blast.

We planned the tour at the beginning of our trip so we would have an idea of where we might want to return. The tour was more fun and informative than we ever imagined. It was literally one of the best parts of our trip! Jim was an amazing guide.

I personally think this is a hard trail. I went here during the Winter and there was still ice on the rocks so it wasn't hard to slip and fall. Thankfully, no one in my party fell. It took two hours to make it to the end of the trail where you can see the Vegas strip in the distance and one hour to make it back. I recommend to bring some water with you, maybe even snacks if you are prone to hunger. I wore sneakers on this trail and that worked fine.

This is a beautiful hike, light to moderate difficulty (on my scale anyway). Just shy of 6 miles round trip, some topography, generally uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back, but nothing too tough. 3 creek crossings (a metal grate bridge and 2 large logs) don’t pose a problem. Mostly sunny, but some shady areas closer to the waterfall at the top of the creek. Didn’t really see any critters along the way, which was kind of a surprise. Free public parking, restrooms (clean) and drinking fountain at the trailhead. Bring water and snacks with you. Dogs are welcome, but there are a few all-rock stretches that may be tough on tender paws. Enjoy!

I loved this trail. The colors in the rocks are amazing. It gets hot so wear a hat and bring water. It's a $10 entry to get into the park and you need exact change during the COVID stuff.

Six-mile hiking trail that culminates in a breathtaking vista of Lake Tahoe, Fallen Leaf Lake and High Sierra.
10. Horsetail Falls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
This moderate to difficult hiking trail provides scenic views of the mountain peaks and a magnificent waterfall. Caution is advised regarding the treacherously slippery rock slabs in the stream and near the falls.

This is a great beginner hike at the beginning of spring when the snow starts to melt. Nice to eat a sandwich and watch the falls while soaking up some vitamin D!
