BIG VIEWS AND CURIOUS LAVA FORMATIONS Between Tahoe City and Brockway Summit, the Tahoe Rim Trail meanders through groves of fir, cedar and aspen and across open hillsides covered with manzanita. The trail climbs steadily from Tahoe City into a mixed forest. Side trails and open slopes offer opportunities to explore cinder cones and ancient lava flows. Midway between the trailheads the terrain flattens and a denser forest provides cool, quiet shade. The trail continues past the Lava Cliffs, a lovely overlook of Lake Tahoe and the peaks lining its north shore, before dropping down to Watson Lake. This shallow lake is thickly fringed with wildflowers in spring and early summer, and is a pleasant spot for fishing, picknicking and camping. Between Watson Lake and Brockway the trail crosses gently rolling slopes covered with a patchwork of small meadows and thick forests. This is the description of just one of the many hikes along the Tahoe Rim Trail. For Maps & Trail Information go to website tahoerimtrail.org. There are interactive maps to use for planning your hikes along with information on trailhead locations, water sources, use regulations and camping regulations (and restrictions). Enjoy of one of the most comprehensive, beautiful and scenic walking systems in California.
