Best Sunrise Trails for Snowshoeing in Tahoe

Updated: May 10

Sunrise Snowshoe Hike Over Lake Tahoe

The sunrises over the shimmering Lake Tahoe are a sight no human can forget. When the first light breaks over the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the pristine snow-laden landscapes gleam with grandeur and remind us how serene nature can be when we simply look at it. However, getting up to the right spot in Winter can be tricky with just winter boots on; that’s where Snowshoe Tahoe comes in. We invite you to take a unique journey on trails few have seen by strapping on some snowshoes for your next hike to gaze at the sunrise.

Top Sunrise Trails for Snowshoeing

 

  • Mount Tallac Trail: This is possibly the best sunrise in Lake Tahoe. Mount Tallac provides a panoramic vantage point that rewards its hikers with a morning golden light to fill the eye.

  • Spooner Lake Loop: Spooner Lake Loop is a more gentle trail ideal for a laidback snowshoe up the side of a hill to a majestic sunrise to ease your mind and start your day off right.

  • Chickadee Ridge: As the name suggests, this is a great place to catch a glimpse of some chickadees. The birds flock during sunrise and will even eat from your hand with an offer of some food.

 

Local Gems and Morning Activities in Tahoe

 

  • Breakfast Spots: After Your Adventure, enjoy a satiating breakfast at our local restaurants like the Tahoe House Bakery & Gourmet or the Old Post Office Coffee Shop, where warm beverages and treats will fill your heart.

  • Wildlife Watching: An early morning sunrise is the perfect setting for spotting Tahoe’s wildlife. You’ll see serene squirrels alongside stately deer starting their day off under the warming sun.

  • Photography Opportunities: If you’re looking to get a picture that nobody else on social media has, use our snowshoes to get to places simple boots will never grant the average photographer. You’ll be able to get on top of snow hills so that the purple light of the sunrise will reflect off the blanket of snow right up to your lens.
