This book describes 50 must-do hikes around Lake Tahoe, the jewel of the Sierra Nevada, from the secluded northern backcountry to glacier-scoured Desolation Wilderness in the south.
Top Trails: Lake Tahoe explores the best trails for hiking and biking in the Tahoe area. The guide features the best hikes including the north side's splendid back-country, the lake's sedate western side, the picturesque and popular areas south of the lake, including Desolation Wilderness, and D. L. Bliss and Emerald Bay state parks and the relatively undeveloped eastern side. Several hikes follow sections of the Tahoe Rim Trail and Pacific Crest Trail. Veteran author Mike White has selected the 50 best trips in the area, ranging in length from a mile-long stroll through a lush, lodgepole-lined meadow to a 20-mile trek on the Tahoe Rim Trail with excellent lake views. Among other significant updates, the third edition includes the new Rim to Reno Trail, newly constructed by volunteers in the Tahoe Rim Trail Association.

Mike White grew up in Portland, OR, from where he began adventuring in the Cascade Range. He has authored and contributed to numerous outdoor guides, as well as articles for magazines and newspapers. He lives in Reno, NV.
