This review is from: Snowshoe Trails of Tahoe (Paperback)

Great snowshoe hikes in the Tahoe area-some hikes are even good for other seasons when the snow is gone. Good directions and got us out more in the winter months-

This review is from: Snowshoe Trails of Tahoe (Paperback)

The book needs to be updated. We went to 3 trails. 2 of the trails (Echo and Fallen Leaf Lakes) where the book said there is ample parking, the City (or someone) has now imposed a "park with permit only". Therefore, you can't park in the ample parking area without getting a ticket. Once on the trails, the book was accurate.
