Recommend full suspension for Xmas Valley. Four alternate routes. Very engaging, fun, physical, at times technical ride. A stop at Scott's Lake is beautiful, Dardanelles Lake stunning.

Here, you'll reach Armstrong Pass. The trail to get here features a gradual climb with a few hundred feet of elevation gain. You can access several trails from this pass.

At the intersection with High Meadows Rd this trailhead is the closest to Star Lake. Star Lake Trail climbs from here, at first gradually, then with a set of switchbacks.

It is a very pretty alpine lake, nestled at the base of the three towering peaks of Freel Peak (3,305 meters), Jobs Sister (3,299 meters) and Jobs Peak (3,233 meters). If there is not too much wind, the rocks and trees that surround it are almost perfectly reflected in its waters. A nice spot!

High Meadows rewards you with incredible views of Freel Peak and Jobs Sister, the two highest mountains in the Tahoe area. Great place for a stop before heading back.

Big Meadow Trailhead is a good spot to access Mr Toad's Wild Ride. It's pretty common to tackle this trail by shuttling with a friend, but you can turn it into a loop if you have the time and energy for a long day in the saddle.

Fun, flowy section of trail. Perfect for a first taste of Tahoe riding or visiting again just to feel the flow.

A difficult day hike from Heavenly Stagecoach, but rewards are worth it. Leave early and arrive before noon. Bikers like to ride through here, but I prefer to hike. Very nice spot!
