The hike will meet at the Kingsbury South Trailhead (Heavenly’s Stagecoach Lodge) and hike south for a little over 3 miles. Along the hike, experts at the Sugar Pine Foundation will spill their knowledge about the crazy and mysterious life of trees. We will hike back to our cars picking up tidbits of cool facts along the way. Anyone like brand new, beautiful single-track trail with a view you’ve never seen?

Submitted by paula on Sat, 06/04/2016 - 8:56pm
The popular and long-time South Lake Tahoe business, the Cork & More, has sold. After almost 40 years of supplying wine, cheese, gifts and deli options to an adoring public, owners Jim and Kim Warlow have decided to retire. They were originally planning to close last Fall, but when potential buyers started to look into purchasing the store on Al Tahoe Blvd., the Warlows decided to hold off closure.
Escrow is expected to close around July 1 Jim said. After that, he's looking forward to enjoying Lake Tahoe's year round recreation from the slopes to the bike trails.
