Tahoe Rim Trail Bench Out and Back

This is a singletrack trail shared with those on foot and bikers. It is generally rolling, but filled with gorgeous views of the lake and surrounding mountains. There are many vista points along the way to rest and take pictures. There are some fire trail intersections in case you need to be picked up in the middle of a run or hike. This is a gradual uphill leading to the bench which you can use as your turn-around point. It can get very windy and exposed at the top. There are no water sources along the trail. Snow is slow to melt from winter and spring, but late spring and early summer are best to view wildflowers and spot deer.
