We planned the tour at the beginning of our trip so we would have an idea of where we might want to return. The tour was more fun and informative than we ever imagined. It was literally one of the best parts of our trip! Jim was an amazing guide.

Fairly easy hike from road parking. Alternative parking in chimney cove - easy walk from there along access road then a well defined path to the cove. People were discreet and cool. Will return.

I stopped at this Visitors Center prior to boarding a shuttle to the Thunderbird Lodge tour. The center has LOADS of information about the Tahoe area, and both of the employees were very pleasant and willing to share detailed information about what is in in the area, based on my questions. They were able to offer suggestions about several area hikes, natural sights, and even some shopping tips! The center also has lovely grounds surrounding it, and there is even a little room of Ponderosa memorabilia in the main building. This center really exceeded my expectation of a ‘visitors center!!’

Great experience here - every way! We sat outside - socially distanced - in a HUGE beer garden with live music! Was great to have entertainment after all the humdrum of COVID restrictions over the past 6 months. The food was delicious - a slight bit beyond beer-type food, with a nice selection. The servers (we had two), including the hostess, were friendly and upbeat. And the craft beer - delicious - great selections of types from IPAs to stouts. Really nice environment.

We walked the trail in the evening and at that time the were only a few people on the trail. The view is amazing - as the trail is along the lake, most of the time. To find the trail head, you can search for Tunnel Creek Cafe. There are two large parking lots, off of Ponderosa Ranch road (yes, Bonanza). There are two trails - one that is up near the hills behind the Cafe and one you want that is paved, down from the cafe, next to the highway. There is a port-a-potty near the trail head. You walk along the road for a short time and then the trail leads you up the hill with the forest on the left and the highway/lake on the right. There are small pop outs all along the trail with quotes and explanations of the flora/fauna/etc of the area. After less than a mile, you walk through a tunnel to get to the other side of the highway where the trail continues. (There is also a bathroom there.) You walk on this part of the trail for almost 2 more miles and all along the way are paths that take you down to the lake with several little beaches. The walk is easy and paved and again, absolutely beautiful! We would definetly do this walk again.
