Looking for places to hike in the greater Lake Tahoe area? “The Dirt Around Lake Tahoe: Must-Do Scenic Hikes” will guide you to places on each shore of the lake and beyond.

These hikes were originally written by Kathryn Reed for Lake Tahoe News. Added to the book are ratings based on scenic quality and difficulty. The hikes are organized by geographic location, and then by scenic beauty.

Some of the routes will take you up peaks, others to waterfalls, others to picturesque vistas. The terrain is varied. There are hikes that are more like walks or leisurely strolls, while others will get your heart pumping.

“The Dirt Around Lake Tahoe” is available on Amazon as an ebook. It will be available as a paperback in June.
