Author Kae Reed to sign and read from new book on Lake Tahoe scenic hikes

“The Dirt Around Lake Tahoe: Must-Do Scenic Hikes” takes readers on a journey to dozens of trails throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin and beyond. Alpine lakes, wilderness peaks and waterfalls are the rewards.

Author Kae Reed, who originally published these articles in Lake Tahoe News, will be a guest of the South Lake Tahoe Friends of the Library on July 30. She will be reading from the book, signing copies and answering questions starting at 6pm at the library on Rufus Allen Boulevard.

One thing that sets this book apart from other guidebooks is the rating system for scenic quality and difficulty. These have been added since the stories were originally published. The variety of trails is another difference. Every shore of Lake Tahoe is covered, as well as popular and obscure trails just outside of the Lake Tahoe Basin.

This book contains a trail for everyone who likes to explore the outdoors. Some are flat, some not so much. Some are ideal for the weekend warrior, others for families, some for strong athletes, others cater to those wanting a stroll.

Descriptions include what time of year to explore the various areas, historical facts, and details about what you may discover along the way.

This book will become your must-have companion as you hike from one end of the lake to the other, and into the surrounding wilderness.

“The Dirt Around Lake Tahoe” will be available for purchase that evening for $15 – cash only. The book is also available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble as a paperback and eBook.
