Gar Woods is a famous restaurant in the area, known for upscale dining and a unique alcoholic beverage only found here, the Wet Woody. The restaurant was named after Garfield Arthur "Gar" Wood, designer of luxury wooden boats in the 1920s that were once all over this area of Lake Tahoe. It's worth stopping in here for a little bit of history and to try the famous Wet Woody.

Jack Pine Road climbs some of the foothills behind Tahoe City and eventually provides access into Burton Creek State Park. The road is really just a dirt double-track trail that's pretty smooth and offers views of the lake as it climbs higher.
