Rubicon Hiking Trail, from Eagle Falls Trailhead
Overview
This is a difficult one-way trail that requires a shuttle on Hwy 89 to complete, or you can make it an out-and-back by hiking as far as you like and turning around and walking back to your car. The trail starts atEagle Falls in California and descends to the shores of Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe. Walk along the shoreline of Lake Tahoe for beautiful views and glimpses of Osprey and sometimes Bald Eagles when they've taken up residence at the lake. Exit at DL Bliss State Park. The trial has a fair amount of up and down as it skirts the steep shoreline. This is one of Tahoe's most beautiful hikes, especially if you're looking for lake views.
This trail goes by Pines Campground 1-90 and Lower Eagle Falls.
Getting Started
Park at the Eagle Falls Trailhead or do the route in reverse by parking at DL Bliss State Park.
