Thanks for explaining exactly how to find the trail head. It looks like a fun place to explore without fear of breaking anything. I might try to bring my 2022 tundra up a ways.

its a super easy trail. Has some beautiful views.

I'm so glad I found this. I am new to wheeling and wanted to see what this trail looked like.

Glad it can help you! We have the gps info on our website. I have more videos planned for that area!

Watching this brought back some wonderful memories. I lived in Reno for a year in the early 2000's (only a year because of job) and would spend many of my days off from work exploring around Lake Tahoe in my Jeep Cherokee. I actually just ordered a Wrangler Rubicon a week ago and Lake Tahoe is going to be one my first long distance trips when safer to travel (I have health issues that require me to be extremely careful during COVID).

I subscribed, I live in VC and haven’t been to Genoa peak. I’ll have to go when the snow melts. Thanks

Great video. Thx for sharing. Adding this to mu bucket list

yes, make sure you check with the local forest ranger before camping on current restrictions.

Hey thanks for sharing views of the trail. It doesn’t look like it ever gets too narrow, but just to check in, can a 4wd full size pick up make it through?

Yes, this trail was very easy. I’m planning to do it again soon and can give some updates.

How long did it take to do the trail? I’m heading up there next month. 👍🏼

Depends on how long you want to stop and see the beautiful sights. If you don't stop, probably a couple hours. You can easily make a day of it.

Would a stock tacoma have any issues getting to the top? Looks beautiful!

Yes, super easy trail. Might need a little 4x4 at the top but 90% of the trail will not need 4x4.

A stock tacoma will be able to make it, be careful of hikers, motorcycles and ATVs.

Thank you so much for this. We are currently looking for accessible views (4x4 or OHV) to do our elopement. When I saw the OHV map, I was hoping someone would have a vid. If you’re aware of any others, on the Nevada side, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Did you air down? Would you recommend either way?

So on this trail I did not, its a pretty easy trail and you could if you wanted to. If I were to do more crawling and flexing I would, it just helps keep more rubble in contact with the ground or rocks.

Man looks nice. Is the path wide. I have a silverado, would i run into any problems

Yes there are spots to pull off. There are some side road to explore also, make sure you check with the local ranger station for any restrictions.

Does this trail begin off the 207?

Yeah, it runs between HWY 50 and 207 (Kingbury Grade).

Hello. Where is the entrance to this place? I went to tahoe yesterday looking for the entrance. Coming from Reno when you go up and down to 50 to yo have to turn left to south tahoe or right to go to north tahoe? There is one left turn before the y and they call it tahoe rim trail. I guess thats not it because mo motorize vehicle sign. I dont see the DOT Place that you were talking about in the video. Please let me know. I want to try this trail. I have a sxs and a quad. Please let me know. Nice video by the way. Thanks for sharing this video.

As you pass spooner lake heading west on HWY 50 you’ll see a DOT station on the left. The road starts behind it. On my website I have a map that might make it easy to find. www.blackrockoverland.com/genoa-peak-trail/

I don’t think there is on the 50 side of the trail but where we exited the trailer there is a large parking area and bathrooms. So if you park there and explore the trails, you should be good. Here is the google maps point where the parking and bathrooms are: goo.gl/maps/GGqzE1iJZXxXUGx79
