Publisher's Synopsis
Discover more than 200 great day-hikes in the Lake Tahoe region
Ever since the Wild West days of Kit Carson and the Comstock Lode, visitors have been drawn to Tahoe-Reno in search of adventure. Today, the best adventures are found outdoors, where hikers can take lakeside strolls, mountain ascents, or simple walks with the dog and kids. Afoot & Afield Tahoe-Reno, by local expert Mike White, features more than 200 trips in a diverse range of terrain around Lake Tahoe and the communities of Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and Minden-Gardnerville.
These trips are tailored for every type of hiker, and many are suited for mountain bikers. Routes range from less than a mile to an 18-mile point-to-point challenge from Tahoe Meadows to Brockway Summit.
Each trip includes the following:
- At-a-glance essential information, including distance, hiking time, elevation gain/loss, and difficulty rating
- Highlights summarizing the best features of the trips
