タホ湖のおすすめツーリングルート

Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake that straddles the border of California and Nevada. Sitting at 6,225 feet in elevation makes it the largest alpine lake in North America. It is a major tourist draw with its stunning beauty and world-class ski resorts.

The trail from Incline Village to Sand Harbor is a must for anyone visiting North Lake Tahoe. There is one hill as you leave/enter Incline Village, but the rest of the trail is flat and follows along Tahoe's east shore, with incredible views around every corner. Eventually you'll end up at the fantastic Sand Harbor State Park, where you can enjoy the sun, sand, and water before heading back to Incline Village.

Great viewpoint above Crystal Bay with a number of plaques with info about Tahoe. It can get busy in the summer, but if you get here early you'll beat the crowds.

The Grid Bar and Grill is just called The Grid by the locals. Drinks and food here are delicious; it's also a karaoke hot spot a few times a week. Serving up Hawaiian Shave Ice and patio dining in the summer and hot appetizers and cozy interior all winter, it's a great spot to check out on a ride.

Kings Beach in the summer is a popular spot with its sandy, easily accessible beach, packed with swimmers, picnickers, and boaters. In the winter, this area has a more summertime vibe than the rest of Lake Tahoe due to something coined the "banana belt." The north shore here gets more sunshine in winter, making it less snow-packed.

Sand Harbor is one of the most popular destination around Lake Tahoe, and with good reason. The views are outstanding and the beaches are wide and sandy. The parking area generally fills up within an hour of opening during the summer, but if you can get here on foot you'll be allowed entry.

Hidden Beach actually isn't that hidden anymore but located about one mile south of Incline Village. But that doesn't make it less beautiful, and you will love to go for a swim and enjoy the boulder-shoreline.

The high elevation of Tahoe Meadows means that the snow can hang on up here until July some years. The wildflowers bloom late and the leaves change early. You can ride here in winter but the road can be very narrow due to the snowbanks.
