3.11 mi / 207 ft gain

This is a casual hike in an area with a ton of history.

Cross the bridge and follow Donner Creek towards the lake, then head left for what would be a clockwise route...

Carnelian Bay

Carnelian Bay, California

5.0

Located on the northwest side of Lake Tahoe, Carnelian Bay is a fun place to spend the afternoon. However, there is no sand at Carnelian Bay as the ground is all large rocks. It's a great place to go swimming or SUPing in the summer, and it has a pier that you can jump off. It is usually less crowded than main beaches of Lake Tahoe, which is a great plus!

Cross-Country Ski to Drifter Hut

Set out from the Tahoe Donner Cross Country center in Truckee at 6,650 feet elevation. Day passes range from $12 to $34, depending on time of day and skier age, and provide access to over 100 kilometers of groomed trails. Leaving the day lodge, there are multiple options for skiing up to Drifter Hut. A favorite route is to link up the Night Hawk, Little Dipper, Big Dipper, Boot Hill, Crazy Hors...

Mt. Judah Loop Trail

Truckee, California

5.0

5.5 mi / 1700 ft gain

A wonderful hike in Lake Tahoe is the Mt. Judah Loop Trail that offers sweeping views of Donner Lake and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains on the North Shore. As a resident on the North Shore, many of my recreational activities favor this side of the Lake but there are marvelous hikes in every region surrounding the lake. The Mt. Judah Loop Trail veers off from the famed Pacific Crest...
