Discover more than 200 great day-hikes in the Lake Tahoe region

Ever since the Wild West days of Kit Carson and the Comstock Lode, visitors have been drawn to Tahoe-Reno in search of adventure. Today, the best adventures are found outdoors, where hikers can take lakeside strolls, mountain ascents, or simple walks with the dog and kids. Afoot & Afield Tahoe-Reno, by local expert Mike White, features more than 200 trips in a diverse range of terrain around Lake Tahoe and the communities of Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and Minden-Gardnerville.

These trips are tailored for every type of hiker, and many are suited for mountain bikers. Routes range from less than a mile to an 18-mile point-to-point challenge from Tahoe Meadows to Brockway Summit.

Each trip includes the following:

  • At-a-glance essential information, including distance, hiking time, elevation gain/loss, and difficulty rating
  • Highlights summarizing the best features of the trips
  • An easy-to-read map
  • Complete trip description and hiking directions

Mike White was raised in the southeast suburbs of Portland, Oregon, in the shadow of Mt. Hood (whenever the Pacific Northwest skies cleared enough to allow such things as shadows). As a teenager, Mike began hiking, backpacking, and climbing in the Cascades of Oregon and Washington, and he honed his outdoor skills while attending Seattle Pacific University. After acquiring a B.A. in political science, Mike and his new wife, Robin, relocated to the high desert of Reno, Nevada, from where he discovered the joys of exploring the Sierra Nevada.

After leaving his last "real" job, Mike began a full-time writing career. He is the author or coauthor of 19 outdoor guides, including award-winning books "Top Trails Lake Tahoe" and "50 Classic Hikes in Nevada." Mike also has contributed to "Sunset and Backpacker" magazines and the "Reno Gazette Journal" newspaper. A former community college instructor, Mike is also a popular featured speaker for outdoor groups.
