Trail Overview

You'll get some great views of Lake Tahoe from this trail. It's a wide, single-lane gravel trail that's moderately to heavily used during the summer. There are gates at both ends of the road which are locked from November 15 to June 1st, due to snowy conditions. It is recommended for 4x4s with high clearance, Jeep Wranglers, 4Runner Off-Road, etc. To get to Genoa Peak, there is another trail that is rated intermediate. It is steep, has loose rocks, and is very narrow. Both ends of the trail offer paved staging areas to air down if desired.

Nice easy trail! I loved the view that's what made me come out and try this trail. As far as the trail went it wasn't difficult at all 2 at most. I saw stock 4runners(pros) and tacomas(off roads) up here.

Very easy and great for those learning. No real obstacles. Paved in some areas, gravel, dust/sand, dirt, shallow ruts, and bumps you can use like jumps to catch some air if you feel like having a bit of extra fun. Razors, Dirt bikes, bikes, and 4x4s all shared easily. No water crossings, no obstacles, definitely a 1 or 2, not a 3 or 4 (in the Summer).

South of Genoa peak was rougher and more whoopsies than north of it. Getting to the peak wasn’t too bad, just a few more loose rocks. Seemed to be several side trails that I did not explore. Hiked up to the peak by the antenna equipment for a 360-degree view - windy up there!

Pretty easy drive. Lots of “whoops” which make it tough to go very fast. Some great views as you get up in elevation. Dusty trail, so keep your windows closed!
