13 BEST Hikes in Lake Tahoe (From someone who lives here!)
In this video, I’m listing 13 spectacular hikes in Lake Tahoe.
One of the best things to do in Lake Tahoe is to hike the gorgeous and easily accessible trails around Lake Tahoe. After living in Lake Tahoe for over two years, I’ve had the opportunity to explore a few hiking trails around Tahoe. And of course, there are still so many hikes that I’ve yet to do that are on my list!
Here are 13 of the best hikes in Lake Tahoe, listed clockwise from east to west. And don’t worry! You don’t need to be an advanced hiker to enjoy most of the hikes on this list!

Im ready to go Tahoe soon! it’s very helpful for me. thx amazing video!
I enjoyed the video and the especially your warm and gentle voice. I want to head up to Tahoe before Oct ends. I would like to try out the Rubicon 10 miles hike.
Any other trails you would recommend for Autumn?
Also which camp ground is good for a drive-up camp sire during Oct on week days. I like the freedom of not been tied to any reservations.
Checking out your other videos…
For chickadee ridge, is there snow all seasons? Even in August?
What place is that with the benches at 3:43? Is that vikingsholm trail?
Great videos!! If you had only one afternoon and first time visiting Tahoe, would you choose Rubicon trail followed by a paddle boarding in Emerald bay? Or up north Monkey Rock trail? I’m hoping I can wrap the day with a nice dinner perhaps stateline restaurants? Thanks a lot.
Any houses up there for around 100k luv to move up there,,,
Our family is planning a visit tuesday through Saturday. With the fires do you think the short hikes are still possible. I have watched most of your videos. Keep it up
Great options for hiking. Thank you for sharing them. 😊
Awesome video!
🎥🎥🎥🔥🔥🔥
Your videos are fantastic and to the point. They’re really helping us navigate the Tahoe area. Thank you.
Great video. We just moved here from San Diego, and looking forward to experiencing one of these trails!
Which trail is the easiest and shortest that you’d recommend?
What month do you recommend?
❤at the rate of 10 …what level of difficulty is the Eagle falls trail especially the rocky stairs?😊thanks l have knee problems & in my 50’s but, l love hiking & adventure😊❤
Hi Gabriella
Thank you for all your postings. I very much enjoyed them. I never been to Lake a Tahoe before and after seeing your videos , have booked to be there this weekend.But looks like it s pretty bad weather there. Is it still bad? So sad if we need to cancel the trip..
nevertheless, thank you for the great videos!!
Thanks so much for making this video! I’m currently in Carson City trying to get my brakes fixed but so looking forward to doing most all of these hikes in days to come.
Thanks for the videos, they were very helpfull and have plans to visit this August as part of our Aniversary celebration
Hello, thank you so much for this video ! If I go to the lower eagles fail trail in August will there still be a waterfall running ?
when you make a video about these place. please show us where exactly to park. Last time we tried to look for cave rock and monkey rock during the snow season, we could not find them, in the end we had to give up. thank you.
ThankYOU SO MUCH for this video. Be there for the 1st time next week & looking forward on doing lots of hiking. Video saved me lots if wondering around & guessing on where to hike
👍🤗
Is there an easy hike to view the sunrise in north Lake Tahoe? Love your videos!
I’ve done 12 out of 13 😃👍👏
I am praying the fire stays east bound and doesnt head toward south Tahoe! Have you seen the mama bear with her 3 cubs swimming at Pope Beach? Stay safe
Great shots! Just recently went up to Maggie’s peak. So beautiful. Check out my vid if you get a chance 🙂 cheers
Can you swim in fallen leaf lake?
I wish I can know the best camping spot around lake Tahoe too !! Thank you for your excellent trail listing!!
I just watched your beautiful and very informative video about the 13 best hikes in Lake Tahoe. I will come in Lake Tahoe on the first week of this April with my 25 yr old son who like me likes to hike and I dont know what April weather will allow us to do from those hikes. Would you please tell me a little more about a usual April weather in Lake Tahoe and which trails are not covered by snow in April? Thank you
Hi Gabriella. Great video.
Do you know if there is any water at Cascade Falls now? Also, what’s the closest nice beach from the Heavenly Village? Is Baldwin Beach ok?
My hiking boots are fur lined also ! LOL
If you don’t mind, I’d like to see the common areas of the many nice resorts in Lake Tahoe, particularly if it has a good view of the lake or architectural features. I’m not likely to drop massive $$$ on staying there, so videos of them will be a good substitute.
Thank you! I watched so many of your videos before my recent trip to Tahoe and it was a tremendous help, the highlight was chickadee ridge, can’t believe it actually worked! Thanks so much!😊
Was planning a trip there next week, but fires changed our plans 🙁
Stateline is my fave 👍
Have you ever noticed anything odd strange or even megalithic looking in Lake Tahoe? Ive been looking at some triaI and boulder climbing vids and it is suspicious. I just discovered Big Bear CA is a destroyed and obliterated ancient megalithic site.
Would it be OK to hike the trails in sport shoes instead of hiking shoes?
Wow, so many spectacular views! Great camera work btw.
Fun video thanks for the suggestions
I would like to see a review on the heavenly valley hike that takes you to I believe a waterfall
Keep them coming Gabriella !!
😊
which ones are dog friendly?
Hi 🙂 what area of Tahoe you live in? Or would like to live in? I’m looking at moving to Reno eventually. But if I can land a remote job, Tahoe itself seems very tempting
Beautiful 💙💙

Lovely video! Heading to Lake Tahoe for the first time next month, and this will come in great hand!
Which trail do you suggest for a senior citizen this last week of March? Thanks in advance.
