Blue lakes, colorful wildflowers and a variety of wildlife are just a few attractions this wilderness has to offer. Nestled between the Carson range and the Great Basin is the 30,000 acre Mount Rose wilderness, named after the highest peak in the Carson Range. The Tahoe Rim Trail, a scenic trail that circles Lake Tahoe, runs for approximately 7 miles through the Mount Rose wilderness, and offers magnificent views of the Lake Tahoe Basin. The strenuous 12 mile round trip hike to the summit of Mount Rose (10,776 feet) is popular among those seeking a wilderness challenge. The Mount Rose Wilderness offers great scenery and a memorable wilderness experience.

General Winter Parking Tips in Lake Tahoe
Winter parking can be challenging in Lake Tahoe. Snowbanks and drifts can often clog the streets, and there is no where for the snow to be pushed. This also means that street parking is reduced, and sometimes parking lot availability is reduced. If you cannot find a spot to park around town or a landmark, please come back later. There is no need to risk your safety or anyone else.
