A very warm day. This was a hike/mountain bike day. No bikes allowed on the Mountain Quarries Railroad trail or the Western States Trail but they are allowed on the Quarry Road Trail so I took it with me on that trail. Several steep sections I had to walk it but it sure made it worthwhile on the downhill sections. Lots of weekend crowds, activities in the area include, rafting, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, running, mountain biking.

The amount of high profile trails in the Tahoe area let some others go unnoticed. This is a spectacular trail and it has very remote sections. The initial climb is a brutal serpentine under heavy tree cover.
