Top Trails Lake Tahoe explores the best trails for hiking and biking in the Tahoe area, including the north side's splendid backcountry, 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 19-mile trek on the Tahoe Rim Trail with excellent lake views. The second edition includes six new trails.Winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award for travel guides.

Mike White was raised in the southeast suburbs of Portland, Oregon, in the shadow of Mt. Hood (whenever the Pacific Northwest skies cleared enough to allow such things as shadows). As a teenager, Mike began hiking, backpacking, and climbing in the Cascades of Oregon and Washington and he honed his outdoor skills while attending Seattle Pacific University. After acquiring a B.A. in political science, Mike and his new wife, Robin, relocated to the high desert of Reno, Nevada, from where he discovered the joys of exploring the Sierra Nevada.

After leaving his last “real” job, Mike began a full-time writing career in 1991. He is the author or coauthor of over 30 outdoor guides, including award-winning books Top Trails Lake Tahoe and 50 Classic Hikes in Nevada. Mike also has contributed to Sunset and Backpacker magazines and the Reno Gazette Journal newspaper. A former community college instructor, Mike is also a popular featured speaker for outdoor groups.

Tahoe for Everyone

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2009

Verified Purchase

Lake Tahoe is the premier vacation destination of the northern Sierra Nevada. Most people associate Tahoe with winter ski resorts but summer hiking is superb. In addition to numerous state park nature trails and wilderness hikes in the national forests that surround the Lake, the Tahoe region is also home to three of the top distance trails in the country. The Pacific Crest Trail passes through the Tahoe region and it shares some of its tread with the historic Tahoe Yosemite Trail. A third trail, which also partly overlaps the other two is the Tahoe Rim Trail, a project of the citizens of Lake Tahoe. Almost entirely built by volunteer labor, this trail circles the Lake for 165 miles. Sections of all these trails and more and well described in the new edition of this book by Mike White, a resident of Truckee and an outdoor teacher and author.

This book divides the Tahoe region into the cardinal points of the compass and includes some stellar hikes in each. I have taken hikes in each of the areas White describes and all are very nice. This book offers a wide selection, from 18 mile day hikes along the Tahoe Rim trail (the section over Relay Peak is one of my favorites) to short 1/2 mile nature trails, the best of which is outside the visitor center along Taylor Creek. White also explains all the regulatory requirements of the various wilderness areas. This is a great book for exploring Lake Tahoe, whether you want strenuous peak bagging hikes or just strolls with the family. I recommend it highly.

Good but not accurate

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2014

This book is not completely correct. We had a hard time finding Mount Tallac because the book says the road to the trailhead is directly across from the Vistor Center. We had to go to the visitor center to find out where the road was. It was a fair distance down from the Vistor Center. Otherwise, the book is helpful in the way it tells you the difficulty of each hike. it also has an excellent page at the back of each hike to tell you the distance to things along the trail; therefore you might only want to go to a falls and not up the mountain, etc. I do like this book a lot and will use it in the future because it is so easy to use. I will just have to make sure that the mileage is correct and the location of the trailheads are correct.

Rapidly find the right trail to do today

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2010

My favorite feature in this book is the front table listing the name of each trail; where more details can be found about it within the book; its length; the part of the Tahoe region in which the trail is found; whether the trail loops or is a one way or out & back trail; how difficult it is; suitability for hikers, bikers, runners, horses, and dogs; terrain features (canyons, moutains, streams, wild flowers, lakes, waterfall, autumn colors, wildlife sightings); whether it's cool and shady, has good views or photo opps; camping and more. All communicated via icons in one table!!! We had never been to the area and found its descriptions of where to find the trails generally spot on as was advice over when to make sure to get there early. Also handy: elevation & mileage charts with landmarks within individual trail descriptions, a zoomed in map of each trail, and photos of trail features.

Good book, has great maps.

I just did a few of the shorter hikes. This book has great detailed maps that I used with the Moon Tahoe book. Also pick up a copy of the Lake Tahoe Basin Trail Map at the Taylor USFS visitors center.

Bought this book and took it up a few weekends ago to Truckee. It is currently two out of two for finding great hikes! This book is very well organized with a table showing hikes and their features (e.g., difficulty, terrain, dogs allowed, other users of trail, loop/up-and-back, etc.) Every section also has a short summary describing the hikes to choose from in that area followed by a more detailed description of each individual hike. Must have book if you're going to be spending time in the area hiking and don't want to spend a lot of time looking for hikes.

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2011

I searched through 2 bags of books to determine the best overall book for hiking trails in the Lake Tahoe Basin. This is by way the winner. It has most hikes, is very easy to follow and is accurate. I have hiked with it on occassion when detailed descriptions are helpful to navigate. Other times just reading it prior to the hike is enough. Trailheads are easy to find desriptions and very helpful. Use the scale of difficulty - it will help plan for a more enjoyable day for you and your fellow hikers.

Maps misprinted with letters missing randomly.

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

The book has some nice hikes, but my copy weirdly has letters missing on almost all of the maps. So for example: "agl ak ail" instead of "Eagle Lake Trail" I can make guesses in most places, but not all, and obviously this is annoying and not very useful. I can't believe they sold this product given the misprint.
