A view of Marlette Lake from the Flume Trail

A beautiful, and strenuous, mountain bike trail is the Flume Trail.  Running between Spooner Summit and Incline Village, it takes you through some very picturesque sights.  After the first tough 4 miles (where you climb approx. 1,000 feet in elevation), it levels out and takes you around Marlette Lake, high cliffs above Lake Tahoe for some stunning views of the lake and Sand Harbor.  If needed, you can rent a mountain bike from Flume Trail Mountain Bike Rentals at the trail head at Spooner Summit.   All of their bike rentals include helmet, pump, spare tube, & water bottle.  To get back to your vehicle at Spooner Summit, they offer a shuttle service back from Incline Village at an additional cost.  A truly beautiful trail not to be missed!  (moderate to advanced riders only)
