“The Dirt Around Lake Tahoe: Must-Do Scenic Hikes” takes readers on a journey to dozens of trails throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin and beyond. Alpine lakes, wilderness peaks and waterfalls are the rewards.

One thing that sets this book apart from other guidebooks is the rating system for scenic quality and difficulty. The variety of trails is another difference. Every shore of Lake Tahoe is covered, as well as popular and obscure trails just outside of the Lake Tahoe Basin.

This book contains a trail for everyone who likes to explore the outdoors. Some are flat, some not so much. Some are ideal for the weekend warrior, others for families, some for strong athletes, others cater to those wanting a stroll.

Descriptions include what time of year to explore the various areas, historical facts, and details about what you may discover along the way.

This book will become your must-have companion as you hike from one end of the lake to the other, and into the surrounding wilderness.
