One of the unusual sites at Lake Tahoe is Monkey Rock. The trail to reach Monkey Rock is about 1-1/2 mile long. and for most of the trail is very steep uphill. At one point you can choose the left path which is very steep, or the right path which is longer but an easier slope. I took the left, steep path. At points I had to crawl because it was too steep to walk.Almost there!At the top. I turn around, and see this…Monkey Rock.Monkey Rock looking over Lake Tahoe.Looking south at Lake Tahoe.
