The best beaches, anywhere, are usually the ones you have to hike down to... and because they're secluded, they often end up as nude beaches. Secret Cove was beautiful, and I can only imagine what it'd look like on a calm sunny day. This was my view last Wednesday:SO much nicer than the boring (and sometimes gated!) sandy stretches in South Lake Tahoe, and definitely worth a visit, whether your clothes are optional or not. Kudos to the USFS for maintaining these beaches on public land.I thought about doing Tallac, but it looked like a long hard slog up a relatively uninteresting trail. I'm sure the view is nice, but I can do hikes like that in Oregon!Tom_H wrote:If you ever get back, do the climb of Mt. Tallac. It is an incredible view.
The Tamarack Trail was pretty overgrown and jungly in parts: Normally that wouldn't bother me, but it had rained all night, so I got completely soaked from the waist down. There were a few sections where I lost the trail, but before heading out I'd loaded up some other people's past GPS tracks, so I never got too far off before finding it again. Once I was at the top of the cliffs (about 8000'), it was just a normal trail. Despite the wetness, I enjoyed it a lot more than boring ol' Glen Alpine Road, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to do a loop from the Glen Alpine trailhead.Tom_H wrote:And BTW, how was the Tamarack Trail?
