"You'll find some of the most stunning views of Lake Tahoe here! We were happy to see that the roads are well-maintained and that there's a dedicated bike lane for most of the trip—perfect for a scenic ride. Parking isn't free, and since I'm not sure of the exact hours, I'd suggest looking them up beforehand to make your trip as smooth as possible. Definitely a must-see spot!"
"Spectacular vista point for viewing Emerald Bay and some of the main part of Lake Tahoe beyond. Worth a quick stop. There are restrooms at the end of the main parking lot, but the restrooms may be closed feom late fall to early spring. During the off season the main parklot may be closed making it necessary to park along the roadway."
