The view was worth it

5.00Trent was great, very informative and friendly. He was extremely patient with me getting up the mountains. My only complaint was the emails from the company that included directions, they weren’t very clear on where to meet up and the links didn’t work. But we found it eventually and it ended up being an amazing view!
Great opportunity for...

5.00A beautiful serene hike through untrammeled territory out the back of Tahoe. A little challenging and totally worth it for the epic scenery and amazing sunset. Martin is a terrific all-around guide, highly entertaining and knowledgeable. We had so much fun we made sure he was out coach for dirt-biking the next day.

5.00Had an amazing time with Michelle and fellow travelers. I went solo and despite them usually having a 2 person party minimum, Michelle was very accommodating and added me to the crew. I was a few minutes late thanks to Uber's unreliability in the area but she didn't mind the late start. Roxy, their lovely dog, joined us on the adventure and made it more fun. We even saw a rare double rainbow! I would definitely book with them again whenever I'm back in the area.
BEST SUNSET PHOTOSHOOT OF ALL TIME

5.00First of all, the service that Tahoe Outdoor Adventures (Michelle especially) is second-to-none! Michelle was super professional, charismatic, and helpful. She lead us on an exceptional hike, with stunning views, and then would also help "coach" during the photoshoot. She also took (no joke) thousands of pictures, and it's been so hard for us to pick which are our favorites! This was not only our favorite night during our trip to Lake Tahoe, but we feel as if we gained a new friend as well. We are so thankful for such an amazing evening we will never forget!!! Luckily we have some pictures!!! <3
A memory made and views seen that won’t be forgotten! So pleased with our photos!

5.00This was a great hike! Our guides were super friendly and accommodating. Took loads of pictures of us on the hike and shared when it was over. The hike was challenging but not over the top. What was over the top was the views! We even got to see a mama bear and her cubs. I highly recommend
