Mt. Rose, Lake Tahoe
Mt. Rose may be the second tallest peak in Tahoe basin and prominent feature of the northern Lake Tahoe skyline, but despite its 2,100ft elevation gain the journey to the peak is best described as pleasant rather than challenging.
Elevation gain:
- 2,100ft (from 8,900 – 10,776 ft)
Tips:
- Early summer thru November is a good time to tackle this peak, though the best of the wildflowers in this area can usually be found during late July or early August.
- Because of the high elevation snow can remain here well into July. If you’re thinking of tackling this trail earlier in the season it would be useful to bring any crampons or snowshoes you may have.
