Emigrant Trail, Tahoe National Forest.

One of several alpine meadows you'll cruise through on your Emigrant Trail experience.

This trail is also popular with hikers and runners especially on the weekends. Please remember who yields to who.

Great views.

Don't miss out on the view of Stampede Reservoir at the turn-around.
