Hiking Mt Tallac in South Lake Tahoe
Mount Tallac is one of the most popular trails in all of Lake Tahoe. It is easy to see why as it is a beautiful destination with insane views from the summit. The hike is 10 miles round trip with 3,000 feet of elevation and it is pretty tough so make sure you are prepared for it. Here is all the information if you want to see what the hike entails and you can read more at CaliforniaThroughMyLens.com.

Need to pronounce it correctly. It is not “Ta-lock”, it is pronounced “Ta-lack”. Pack your trash out please, including your pistachio shells and orange peels. They don’t decompose. Faster trail is from above Stanford Camp.
good breakdown big dog. thanks
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
Too many ads….made it unwatchable
Yes! Double sun flare. 🌞🙌
Excellent video. After this video I’ve decided I’m going to do this hike in a couple days.
awesome 🙂
Happy to find a well done video on this hike. Thanks!
Just completed this hike on Friday and it was AMAZING!!
Great Hike. I see one in AllTrails that is 10.9 miles and 3330 ft elevation. Is that the same one? I wanna go thanks to your incredible video and narration of the journey.
How long does it take to do this hike? 3 hours each way, more/less?
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.
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
Wow! Your video is amazing! You've really captured the experience of hiking up a mostly uphill trail with beautiful views along the way. I've never been to Lake Tahoe, but now I want to! Subscribed.
Awesome video Josh! Those are some spectacular views.
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!!
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!
Does anyone know if this trail is open during COVID-19? Even for a safe social distancing day hike?
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).
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!!! ⛰
Cool channel!
Thanks for doing this hike for me! Now I can skip it!!!

What’s a cost of a day pass now
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.
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
how much time did it take you to complete the whole trip?
Love Tahoe..thanks for share
Could you please tell me what kind of camera you are using and on what settings. Thanks in advance.
Where did you get your sunglasses? They are nice!
Dude! That looks amazing. Adding it to the list. Another great find, thanks! And that double sun flare was insane!
wow josh that was quite the view ! thanks for taking us along
Nice lake view. I like it. Good day.
Definitely don’t under estimate that hike…I’m telling you, definitely get there early!!! Watching from Tokyo, Japan!
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!!
I watched from the Tasman, New Zealand. I really like this video.
Hi there!!! we met yesterday hiking San Gorgonio! Keep it up!!!!
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.
epic views!
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.
I live in Tahoe, just finished a school trip to catalina island and my teacher showed your video in class! 😂
Love your videos. Go to Miami!! Need to see your review on it
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
