HIKING

Home to miles upon miles of breathtaking Sierra Nevada wilderness, hiking and exploring trails on foot are among the best ways to access the untouched beauty of North Lake Tahoe. 

If you’re looking for a little uphill assistance, check out Northstar California for a gondola ride up the mountain to the perfect picnic spot along with a variety of easily accessible hiking trails, or The Village at Squaw Valley, where you can climb over 2,000’ on the Aerial Tram with 360° views of Lake Tahoe and the High Sierra.
