Description
Step onto the Lake of the Sky Trail and experience a stunning journey from the Taylor Creek Visitor Center to the sandy shores of Lake Tahoe, where every sight, scent, and sound reveals a new Climate Clue. Discover the hidden heroes of the forest—beavers—whose natural wetland‑building superpowers help protect the Sierra from drought and wildfire. Take in panoramic mountain views while learning how shrinking snowpack and earlier runoff threaten California’s ‘frozen reservoir’ and the ecosystems that depend on it. Feel the icy lake water and explore a shoreline transformed by warming temperatures, algal blooms, and shifting drought cycles. Finish your hike inspired to become a Climate Warrior, empowered with simple everyday actions that help protect Lake Tahoe and the only Earth we have. The trail is out-and-back and less than a mile total. It is mostly flat along a gravel, dirt, and sandy path with benches along the way. This guided tour will be led out by our lovely knowledgeable staff and volunteers every Thursday at 10am between June 17th and September 27th (weather permitting).
