Tahoe Rim Trail

Our fourth Tahoe-area hike: Tahoe Vista Trail (a.k.a. Tahoe Rim Trail). Over nine miles, because we included a spur trail for an extra view. This was the only time we really saw Lake Tahoe on our trip, because traffic around the lake was bumper to bumper both times we tried to get anywhere close. We were happy to see it from a distance, without the cars, and with fewer people around.
