We drove over to Lake Tahoe for a day. It was beautiful there. Next trip we will stay in Tahoe instead of Reno. We went up Barker pass which quickly gets you up the side of the mountains. After that we went by a couple of lakes and went to the top of Mt. Ellis. The trail ended up in Tahoma at the Tahoe entrance to the Rubicon. Saw a couple of really nice heeps heading to the Con.















It was a really nice trail, had lots of rocky spots with some beautiful views of the mountains, lakes, and valleys. The directions for the trail i got out of this book.

It had very detailed trail info with mileage to turns and landmarks, and rated the difficulty of different parts of the trail. We navigated the whole drive with this book. I bought a topo map of the area but didn't need it.
