Hiking Mt Tallac in South Lake Tahoe

[@allanreinap4541]

Lived there in the 70s. Hiked to Mt Tallac a couple times. Floating Island lake actually had a floating island. I remember walking on it, very shaky. Realized later not a good idea. Sorry I may have added to its demise. Having said that, beautiful hike, beautiful area. One of my best memories!

[@tawoo]

Lived in San Diego 50 years ago. Miss it and all of California. Your video's take me back to the best time of my life.

[@Aftermystorm31]

I'm moving to South Lake Tahoe in 2 days, and this hike is number 1 on my hit list! Thanks for giving me a sneak peak at the slog I have in store for me hahah

[@evanhilton279]

I live in Tahoe, just finished a school trip to catalina island and my teacher showed your video in class! 😂

[@LaBlue267]

I'm dying...wish I could do this hike. How gorgeous. It has to be near impossible to find a spot anywhere around Lake Tahoe that isn't stunning. Fell in love with the area. Truly beautiful!

[@Xx-ib6bf]

Congatulations to you both, that's one Tough hike!! Incredibly breath- taking Beauty. Thank you So much. (One of the most beauriful places I've Ever seen.).

[@toshibavoodoo]

TAHOE!!! My dream location to retire too. Thanks will add to list, as I love to visit this wonderful part of America.

[@californiathroughmylens]

I would love to live there as well, it is such an amazing area.

[@annecasillas5402]

I agree, Tahoe is heaven! 💜💜💜

[@sjladuke75]

Just returned to the east coast from this epic place. My daughter was just married there in a stunning outdoor location. Although I love my current location on the NJ shore, hopefully I'll be retiring to the west coast within the next few years. The magical beauty is everywhere you turn.

[@toshibavoodoo]

@@sjladuke75 very nice!

[@saraparedez1093]

Blessed to call beautiful Tahoe my Tahome , did this hike with my husband it was beautiful and magical. If you ever get a chance to visit Tahoe I highly recommend it!! It's a magical happy place that you'll never want to forget and i promise you'll come back for more visits. The tap water is heaven, no matter where you are in Tahoe north shore or south shore ever view is beautiful!! It's starting to feel like fall and soon we will see every shade of autumn 🍂. Visit Tahoe 💙always keep Tahoe blue!!

[@naiabeckwith8998]

Sara Paredez me too I am so grateful that this is my home.

[@Italionmex]

That view of Lake Tahoe at the summit. Wow!!!

[@shelbyhutch3521]

Thank you for the content you make. I have traveled California more in 2019 than I have in my entire life and it all started with watching one of your videos at the end of 2018.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Best comment ever! So glad the videos got you to explore CA, that is my main reason for creating all of the content.

[@LightSnowOvernight]

We just hiked to the top (August 30, 2022). I have watched more than a dozen different videos of this hike. I think this one gives the most accurate description of the challenge of hiking on all the rocks. My best advice would be to take plenty of water.

[@Slaytanik.]

That is a great hike! I like to hit it early then go have late breakfast/lunch at Fire Sign Cafe in TC as a reward. I've done it twice. Going to hit it up again some time this summer (hopefully).

[@jessejay5587]

I just did Pyramid Peak for the 4th time couple days ago. I want to do this one. How hard in comparison would you say? Also how many hours?

[@Slaytanik.]

@@jessejay5587 I've never done Pyramid. But it is a cool 6 hours of your day on average. Just did it on the 4th. The next day I did Lassen (that was a breeze).

[@jessejay5587]

@@Slaytanik. Thank you for the information! Pyramid took about 7-8 hours going solo. It's such an uphill battle, but so rewarding. I'm sure this one will be too!

[@ModernMolliee]

This is so nostalgic! My family used to camp at Fallen Lead Lake every summer and we often did this hike. Lovely video!

[@IndraKusumaSejati]

Wonderful view landscape your shoot my friend. I love it. Have a nice weekend and see you again.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment, it was a beautiful area for sure

[@kathrynmercier4874]

For anyone interested in this hike, the view is well worth it but the rocks can be BRUTAL coming down. Wear proper footwear and I 110% recommend bringing poles if you have them! I’ve done a lot of hikes and this one in particular destroyed my feet and knees like no other. Absolutely beautiful and worth it, though.

[@violetbf3773]

WOW!!!! My adventurous side says "do it," but my lazy side says "just watch the video again" lol Thanks for "taking" us along on this awesome hike Josh. It is amazingly beautiful! 👏😊

[@californiathroughmylens]

haha it's a tough one but it is amazing at the top!

[@violetbf3773]

California Through My Lens It does look beautiful.

[@teenytinytoons]

Excellent video. After this video I’ve decided I’m going to do this hike in a couple days.

[@imjohannasofia]

The views are just GORGEOUS! ❤️

[@joeazzarone6508]

Thank you for posting! Heading to Reno/Tahoe next week and I've now put this hike at the top of my list. Can't wait!

[@theathjr]

wow josh that was quite the view ! thanks for taking us along

[@cici199700]

I watched from the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Phangan. I really like this video.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for watching from Thailand!

[@BradRLeBeau]

Happy to find a well done video on this hike. Thanks!

[@vochaalloy33]

Awesome views. Thank you for taking us along

[@dntl408]

Just completed this hike on Friday and it was AMAZING!!

[@christophertafuro291]

Awesome video Josh! Those are some spectacular views.

[@Whiskey6Radio]

Awesome memories. I Summited mt tallac 20 years ago

[@oliverjh1281]

Love to do that hike one day thanks for sharing great job 👍

[@Michelleyougood]

Next time, you should hike the peak again, but start at the glen alpine trail! It’s a little longer, but not as strenuous :) And the flowers during spring/summer are beautiful!!

[@angelogarciajr5356]

I always wanted to climb this to watch the fireworks. I guess since you took me along with you, I can now cross this off my bucket list. Thank you

[@ToddFleming68]

Made me homesick for Fallen Leaf Lake, Desolation Wilderness and the mountain. I was fortunate to have use a friends family cabin above fallen Leaf Lake and have hiked this area several times with some just being me and my dog. It is hard to not want to keep turning around to soak in the view all the time as you are hiking. This video is great but there is so much more that was missed, and only discovered if you are fortunate enough to frequent this beautiful area. More smaller lakes, streams and a mountain lodge along the trail that takes you back in time. Keep in mind if you do take your dog you will want to have some type of paw protection as there is a lot of jagged rock slate sharp slate. I had to carry my dog ( 125 pound Rottweiler ) out once due to his paws getting cut open. I can't wait to get back! Best kept secret! Fallen Leaf Lake & Desolation Wilderness!

[@karlarivera9084]

Hi there!!! we met yesterday hiking San Gorgonio! Keep it up!!!!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment and nice to meet you!

[@WojciechRolinski]

Nice lake view. I like it. Good day.

[@seniorsue]

What a hike! Beautiful! I will have to pass on that one. Thanks for showing us the views!

[@AaronTru]

Of course you filmed this while I was following your other Lake Tahoe videos...of this was released a week sooner it would have been my hike for sure!!! Thanks for the great videos...I have followed your Palm Springs, Joshua tree, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, emerald bay videos and bishop/395 video to make my own adventures.

[@californiathroughmylens]

haha always a reason to go back! I am glad the videos have been helpful!

[@CoinOpTV]

epic views!

[@cutproductions]

Dude! That looks amazing. Adding it to the list. Another great find, thanks! And that double sun flare was insane!

[@nevadahiker6661]

Legit one of the prettiest hikes in the Tahoe basin! The only other view of Tahoe that is comparable is East Peak, but you don't get the great views of Emerald Bay and Fallen Leaf Lake, plus the amazing views of the Crystal Range (9:36 is a great example)! Tallac is the best!

[@grneyefin]

Yes! Double sun flare. 🌞🙌

[@ianmandel352]

Wowzers! this Vid gave me goosebumbs !! The View at the top was Epic !! Amazing Vid !!

[@user-us6ce7me8k]

Awesome scenery! 🤩🤩

[@lizhenson4563]

Ah going to Tahoe in June! Definitely going to do this hike. Thank you (:

[@USARoadtrip364]

Thanks you so much sharing this location. Last time when I went to there I didn't know about here that's why I missed.. thanks again

[@californiathroughmylens]

No problem, always a reason to go back

[@neliguerrero425]

Love Tahoe..thanks for share

[@iguillo]

Great vid Josh. I've never been to Lake Tahoe so, certainly looking forward to going in the near future.

[@dr.octagon9450]

One of the best hikes I’ve done. The 360 views are amazing.

[@NickandRachel]

Beautiful video!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thank you!

[@juniorrodriguez3028]

I did this hike solo for my birthday a few weeks ago and the views were amazing !! You should look into hiking mt Rose next 👍🏼

[@californiathroughmylens]

So awesome, thanks for the tip I will have to check it out!

[@thomashimes644]

Yes. Mt. Rose gives you dramatic views of both Lake Tahoe, Reno, & Truckee. The distance is similar, but elevation gains are a bit less. Plus there is less shale to deal with than Mt. Tallac. But it's technically in Nevada, so Josh would have to expand his KZbin channel geography, lol!

[@kirbyhays]

I watched from the Tasman, New Zealand. I really like this video.

[@monatuazon9699]

ohh i wanna do this hike too!! soo sooo beautiful!!! thank you for sharing 😀😀

[@toshibavoodoo]

Looks like Floating island Lake Hike, has my name on it! USually drive through on a 20 hour, top-down road trip from San Fransisco to SaltLake. This will be a great place to hike at sunup with an Early AM Departure time from San Fransisco. LOVE IT!

[@AaronTru]

That view is amazing!!!!!!

[@californiathroughmylens]

I agree!

[@TheOnceandFutureGeek]

Those are some amazing views! This was so cool to see, thanks for the great video!

[@lwltravel4782]

Very nice hike. You got a very good view. 👍👍🤝🤝😊😊

[@jerrodwalters]

Definitely don’t under estimate that hike...I’m telling you, definitely get there early!!! Watching from Tokyo, Japan!

[@Softwar950]

Just one more beautiful hiking video, thanks for sharing this ! ;)

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

I'm really enjoying your hiking videos! The views from Mt Tallac is epic!

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

Really awesome video Josh! I've heard of this hike but I didn't know it was that beautiful!! Great share brother!!

[@sierranevadahikes8538]

Just did this hike last weekend. We started at the Glen Alpine trailhead and descended the way that you came up. Yes, this is a very challenging hike! The descent on the steep rocky section was not fun. I can't imagine climbing that part! I did make a short video that you can see on my channel. Not too many days left this year to do this hike in good weather and without snow.

[@FancyJohnny]

if you liked this trail i highly reccommend giving mount rose a try, it's right next to reno, nv, and has great views of the northern sierras, reno, and tahoe on the summit

[@heidicoz8369]

Wowww amazing i will look forwars this coming thanksgiving holyday

[@californiathroughmylens]

Awesome! I am glad you get to visit the area.

[@AlbertTV13]

great hike, great views!

[@yeahyeah_maria]

Beautiful!

[@jackgalloway2124]

good breakdown big dog. thanks

[@ВладиславМайоров-й9з]

Dear friend! You have amazing videos. I am from Russia. My wife and I love watching your channel. Language I know badly. I use Google translate.

[@Erik-kb3xf]

Love your videos. Go to Miami!! Need to see your review on it

[@piyushdhotre651]

Great video! Few questions abt hike: Is there any drinking water on the way or we need to carry our own? How much time it took start to end?

[@carlocarballo5606]

how much time did it take you to complete the whole trip?

[@lovoniaparks]

Where did you get your sunglasses? They are nice!

[@mayurshah4267]

Hi Nice videos South lek.... 👌🌎👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👍👍

[@lavii64]

Loved this video, awesome views and I always love your content! It would be great if you included some time stamps throughout your hiking videos so that we can see how long each portion takes! I’m always interested to know how long it takes to get to each section from start to finish 😊

[@thomashimes644]

Timing this hike will depend upon the individual. 2 mph is a reasonable estimate. But with breaks for food, water, & photos --- plan on 6 hours minimum. You can see that even going down isn't going to be much faster on the uneven terrain.

[@julieh3327]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@miquemoua]

Does anyone know if this trail is open during COVID-19? Even for a safe social distancing day hike?

[@kathrynmercier4874]

Yes it is. You don’t even need a permit at this time. Just make sure to bring a mask because I noticed most people wearing masks when I went a few days ago and it’s just a nice courtesy thing. And no, the trail is not wide enough to permit 6 feet apart at all times, hence the masks. Happy hiking!

[@rolandomontenegro4130]

Can I ask what provisions you brought along. A hike like this you had to bring along a ton of water right?

[@brianhalley5204]

Where did you get coffee that early?

[@arseniofrontela5829]

Great stuff thanks for sharing

[@ottomendez2404]

Could you please tell me what kind of camera you are using and on what settings. Thanks in advance.

[@jasonpayne1240]

My daughter and I stopped at the rocks, about 300 feet to the summit...the thunderstorm had a different plan for us...so we came back down quickly. Next time Mt. Tallac, next time!!! ⛰

[@OscarRamirez-iq7kb]

How many hours did it take you to do the tour?

[@TheRabeckyanne]

Brutal hike. But so worth it

[@chatapui]

How long does it take to do this hike? 3 hours each way, more/less?

[@TraceNoOne]

What’s a cost of a day pass now

[@stargazer5073]

Thanks for doing this hike for me! Now I can skip it!!!

[@davidkingraiders7294]

I’ve done that hike 3 times Once when I was really hung over too One time when I was hiking Tallac , when we passed Cathedral Lake I saw a wild turkey right by the trail and then we went up to the top, as we came back down from the top back down to Cathedral lake that wild turkey was still there in that exact same spot One thing this guy didn’t tell you is that when you pass by floating islands lake you better have on some mosquito repellent for sure

[@elisscaliving5864]

david kingRAIDERS yikes

[@alinice82]

I visited Lake Tahoe twice but didn’t get to see good views or going for a hike because my wife is not a morning person and I have to wait until 1 pm for her to be ready. Unfortunately sometimes trips are terrible even if the visited places are awesome.

[@snorbie]

So that’s what it looks like Climbed it sep 11 it was a bit Smokey and no views loved It

[@gratefuldoge8598]

I think "floating island" can mean that it appears as if you're looking at an island floating because you see the reflection of the land across the water as well as the sky right at your feet.

[@X_explorer]

Cool channel!

[@Linky01]

I have done this hike 2 time 1 time I was 8 and I did it a month ago and I’m 10 now it was so painful I could not walk for a day XD
