Northern California Bike Tour — Lake Tahoe

Circle by bicycle one of the grandest Alpine lakes in the world—Lake Tahoe

Twenty-two miles long, twelve miles wide, a third of a mile deep, the third largest alpine lake in the world.

These impressive statistics don’t come close to describing the beauty and grandeur of Lake Tahoe. Set within the Sierra Nevada mountain range and ringed with high alpine peaks, Lake Tahoe is a spectacle unlike any other. Mark Twain described Lake Tahoe as “the fairest picture the whole earth affords”. And fortunately for us cyclists, a very pleasant road rings this special gem.

A Lake Tahoe Bike Tour—Overview

Circle Lake Tahoe and the surrounding alpine landscape by bicycle on this five day tour. Travel 200 miles of beautiful vistas over five days, with several optional detours up some of the nearby mountain passes for an additional challenge. Stay in the historic town of Truckee in a European style sport hotel. Sleep in Olympic Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, and ride the cable car to Squaw Valley’s High Camp to swim, soak, or hike in the high alpine terrain. Ride to breathtaking Emerald Bay and pristine Fallen Leaf Lake. Relax in a luxury Tahoe style lodge at South Lake Tahoe, ride the gondola in Heavenly Valley to view an unforgettable panorama of the entire lake. Ride through the quiet alpine meadows of Hope Valley and the stark desert splendor of Carson Valley.

Extend your vacation

If you would like to extend your tour, we have scheduled the Kiss of Death—High Sierra Challenge to follow Lake Tahoe. Adding the Kiss of Death turns the 5-day tour into an 9-day vacation. And since all the rides on the weekend are different than the rides on Lake Tahoe, you will be experiencing new routes each day.
