    Hiking

    Mount Tallac, standing at 9,735 feet, is a stunning peak located just three miles from Lake Tahoe's edge. It offers some of the best views of the Tahoe Basin, thanks to its proximity to other lakes and the picturesque Emerald Bay. Situated between Fallen Leaf Lake and Emerald Bay, Mount Tallac is part of the Desolation Wilderness, a beautiful expanse of alpine peaks and valleys near South Lake Tahoe.
