This guidebook is exactly what I hoped it would be - a list of many trails around Tahoe categorized by location, difficulty, etc. and much more. Hoping to get lots of use out of this guide when things open back up!

Here's the code for the library: 796.51 W5848t 2009. This is a great book for Tahoe hikes. For Emerald Bay, #25 and 26. For Incline Village, #13, 14, and 16 sounds really cool.
