Hiking & Mountain Biking: » Back to Attractions
There are hundreds of hiking/mountain biking trails all around the lake. They range
in size, length, difficulty, and popularity. One of the most famous of Tahoe's trails
is the Tahoe Rim Trail, a 165 mile trail that circumnavigates the lake.
Mountain biking at Lake Tahoe is not a just a sport, it's a lifestyle! Bike paths, dirt roads, single tracks and bike parks abound around the lake. There are many scenic and mellow rides and plenty of steep, rocky precipices in the mountains. Some ski resorts have bike parks where you can buy a lift ticket, "ride" effortlessly to the summit and then careen your way down dusty ski trails. There are even companies that offer guided backcountry tours ranging from hours to days.
Many fine bike shops around the lake offer rentals, demos and sales. These shops are great resources for expert tips, local lore, trail maps, guide books, accessories and repairs.
