This summit's views are incredible and match the stunning scenic views of other Tahoe favorites like Freel Peak, Mount Rose and Mount Tallac. Although Tahoe is barely visible from here, it offers fantastic views of Lake Aloha and the Crystal Range as it sits in the heart of the Desolation Wilderness.

The highest peak of Tahoe Bassin… the trail to go up starts from road 50, there is a few parking spots on the other side of the road. The first hour of way up is burnt up but then the nature is back. Very steep trail but not technically difficult, except the last push before summit where you need both your hands and feet. I highly recommend. Go up early as the trail is exposed to the sun.

This hike was very tuff . But I make it to the top. Coming down is more harder. It was very Challenging and I am glad I did it.
