    Tips

    Mountain biking

    Rising over 7,700 feet amidst evergreen forests, Painted Rock Summit offers mountain bikers a scenic high-altitude ascent with plenty of space at the top to relax and take in sights through the pine trees. While not completely panoramic, breaks in the foliage provide glimpses of the surrounding terrain to appreciate during this leg-burning yet rewarding ride up.

    Running

    Painted Rock is at 7,700 feet above sea level in an evergreen forest. This part of the Tahoe Rim Trail is multi-use and shared with mountain bikers. The top has a clearing where a view is visible with a break in the trees. It's a rewarding run-up, and great if you're looking to train on some uphill.

    Cycling

    Painted Rock is a quiet trail located just outside of Tahoe City. Standing at 7,700 feet in elevation, the trail is enough to get your lungs burning! There is a nice clearing through the trees at the top of Painted Rock that allows you to overlook Lake Tahoe.
