    Tips

    Cycling

    Mount Watson Access Road is a fast dirt climb that winds through some old growth forest. When it is dry out, pretty much any bike will work, except maybe your nostalgic 19c tires....

    There are nice views along the road, and you feel like you are in the wilderness despite being minutes away from Tahoe City.
