After years of looking south and seeing the highest peaks in the Tahoe region dominating the skyline, I finally stopped making excuses (e.g., too far to drive, not enough time, eating a donut, etc.). Today was the day!
All went well except underestimated how much water to bring. Up above treeline, it was hot and hardly any shade. I knew this going in, but I drained my 2 Nalgenes way too early. Aborted attempt on South Jobs (Steve?) as dehydration started to dog me. All in all, a must-do loop in Tahoe, but be prepared for a big day with no water source most of the way.
