Top Trails Lake Tahoe

This is a good book that gets you to the trail heads. Why didn't this latest printing include GPS coordinates? Otherwise the book is accurate and informative on the two hikes I took.

Just like Kings Canyon book

very good book and hike guide but I found much of the information the same as the companion King's Canyon hikers guide

Top Trails Lake Tahoe

The hikes that are noted are very clearly explained and directions are good. Limited selection of hikes as ones I was looking for were not included.

Not for the Casual Walker

Mike White's contribution to the Top Trails series has some spectacular hikes. People who are heavily into the sport will really enjoy the book. Included are hikes up Mt. Rose, the highest peak in the Tahoe basin and long segments of the Tahoe Rim Trail. But this book is not for the faint of heart. Most of the route descriptions in the book exceed 9 miles and several exceed 15 miles. Moreover, these miles involve considerable elevation gain. White does include some shorter walks. The Tahoe Meadows Whole Access Trail is the best of these. Sugar Pine Point also receives some much deserved attention. But the bottom line is that you will need to be in excellent physical condition to fully appreciate what this book has to offer. So if you enjoy strenuous all day treks that offer stunning scenery in return for your efforts, this is the book for you. But if you want a guide to the many pretty nature trails that surround Lake Tahoe, you will have to look elsewhere. Moreso than other books in the Top Trails series, this book is for serious hikers that like to push the limits of their endurance.
