Description
Start at the Tahoe Meadows Trailhead and look for the easily-found sign behind the bathrooms. You'll share the trail with the Tahoe Rim Trail for a short stretch, then branch off, continuing to follow the great signage along the way.The trail will travel through meadow, then into forest, then back into the meadow, with views down the mountain and over the Tahoe Lake basin. The interpretive signs along the way point out key features of the habitats here, and keep visitors interested in the surrounding ecosystem. There are also plenty of wildflowers to be seen, and fish in the streams that you'll cross on well-built bridges.Just keep following the well-marked trail, and you'll return to your starting point.
