Fun trails near South Lake Tahoe (but not the rubicon) (1 Viewer)

[mokrunka]

So I’ll be up in Tahoe later this month and was wondering what fun trails there are up there. I’ve done the rubicon so I’m looking for something new (lol, just kidding, I have a stock 100). Anyway, I’d like a not too challenging couple of trails that I can test out the latest maintenance on the cruiser, factory 100, 33” KO3s. Something with a little challenge but nothing too bad, or too crowded, and preferably with some cool places to park and hike around too.

Any recommendations?

I don't know about smaller routes around that area, but the CA Backcountry Discovery Route passes around the south.
There's Bowman Lake in the north and I strongly assume there are 100 FS roads around in the south as well.

That area is surrounded by possibilities. Do you use Gaia for mapping at all? If not, create an account and turn on their ' overland ' layer.

Then, pick a direction and a road and go for it. Could head east into Nevada and really go for days without many services.

Just did a quick google search. Alltrails shows some trails on the east side and a few more links. No personal experience though...

Thanks! Yeah, I use alltrails so I did some searching around myself. Was curious what others have done around here. Genoa is on my list for sure, looks like fun.

I did the Genoa peak trail in 2022. It wasn’t super difficult but I did enjoy it. It gives a great view of Tahoe from the building at the top.
