Fall is in the air, which is the ideal time to lace up your hiking boots and hit the trail. The major perk… Many picturesque hikes are located on the East Shore with trailheads just a short drive from Tahoe Beach Club. So grab your pumpkin spice latte (or your favorite water bottle) and let's stride into autumn exploring the best of Tahoe!

About halfway into the hike, you'll reach Castle Rock, a stunning outcrop that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Tahoe. It's the perfect spot to take a break, snap some photos, and soak in the natural beauty of the area.
