Skunk Harbor Hike...
Lake Tahoe is already feeling the crush of tourists arriving for the long Independence Day weekend. We wanted to get off the beaten path. We chose well.
Skunk Harbor is a 3.11 mile usually heavily trafficked out and back trail which features stunning views of Lake Tahoe and is rated as moderate. With a 584 ft. elevation change, this was the most strenuous hike I've accomplished, post neck fracture (ten months ago). It was awesome.
The flora was uniquely spectacular.
This was K & T's first visit here and it couldn't have been a more beautiful destination.
We picnicked right here. Wow. Physical distancing at its finest.
A highlight was having this exceptional butterfly land on my back. It was the perfect end of a wonderful explore.
"Looking out over the lake,
I felt enveloped in the most peaceful, loving utopia."

You wrote that it was heavily trafficked--were there lots of people on the trail?
