The Ebbetts Pass National Scenic Byway is one of only seven nationally designated byways in California and 151 in the nation. It juts up from the heart of the Sierra Nevada with Lake Tahoe and goes on for a 61-mile stretch on Highways 4 and 89, in between the towns of Arnold in Calaveras County and Markleeville in Alpine County. A glorious wilderness drive of glacially carved valleys, granite outcroppings, basalt columns, ancient volcanic peaks and deep rivers. It is simply a stunning ride on a bicycle.
