Top Guided Nature Hikes Lake Tahoe

No matter what time of the year it is in Lake Tahoe, there is always an opportunity to get out and enjoy the great outdoors and learn along the way. The Sierra is certainly one of the most scenic locations in the world to enjoy the best of Mother Nature. And right now, it's THE place to discover its history while strolling through the cool and crisp forests that surround our lakes and streams.

We are continually impressed with all the options for guided hikes with those who know the land best that we thought we'd dedicate this blog to the subject at hand. Take a look at our favorite options that we recommend to our guests when they are looking for a nature and educational hike with a professional guide in Lake Tahoe.
