STORIES ADOPT A DOG

The dish on Tahoe trails

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.
Shirley Lake Trail.

DogTrekkers consistently list hiking as a Tahoe favorite, followed closely by beaches and water fun. The Shirley Canyon Trail combines it all. This ski run doubles as a rigorous fall hiking route from the base of the Palisades Tahoe Aerial Tram.

Follow the trail for three scenic miles before splashing in Shirley Lake, and continue two more miles to reach High Camp. Grab a snack, snap some photos, and board the tram with your pup. It’s a free ride down the hill. See more of our favorite trails.
