Trail runs near Lake Tahoe 7/4-7/6?

[Costa]

Hi guys,

I'll be staying at Tahoe 7/3-7/7 with my family (2 kids, 3 and 4.5 y/o) and hope to do some easy, or maybe up to moderate, trails while there. We are not going to do any overnighters this time as we are staying in south lake Tahoe but are looking for some daily trail runs.

Would be great to have few rigs join us.
Also would appreciate recommendations, so far I was thinking of Ellis peak, Genoa peak trail, and Mount Watson trail.

EDIT: removed Sardine lake and poker flat as they are too far away. Added Ellis peak and Genoa trail.

Here are some ideas to research:
- Genoa Peak Trail
- Barker Pass loop including Richardson Lake and Sourdough Hill
- Barker Meadows
- Blackwood Canyon
- Martis Peak

Thanks slomatt, I was also looking at Genoa Peak Trail and Blackwood Canyon. I think I'll have time for only two trails as wifey has some plans too :)

Genoa peak is quick and easy. You could also go down into Carson City, there's nice trail(s) from CC to Virginia City through the hills....

These sound like fun while visiting my dad in Reno, I will look them up but if any info please pass along. Thanks...

Just drove King's Canyon Road the other day by accident while wandering forest roads the other day, pretty nice drive.

Hey @Costa, I'm going to be in South Lake Tahoe (Zephyr Cove area) 7/6-7/8. I'll hit a trail up with you in the morning or early afternoon.

Hit me up in a PM and we can connect to try to make a trail run happen.
