There are a few of our South Lake Tahoe vacation rentals that are within close proximity to the Tahoe Rim Trail off Kingsbury Grade.  The Tahoe Rim Trail lines the Tahoe Basin, in full, it is 165 miles.  It is a great place to hike, bike, ATV, 4-Wheel, horseback ride, snowshoe and snowmobile.  Located at the end of North Benjamin (off Kingsbury Grade), it has breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding mountains and forest not often seen by South Shore visitors.  From the end of North Benjamin (which turns into Andria), it takes you 12.2 miles over to Spooner Summit and, at one point, above the tree line near the weather station.  It would also be a great place to take your pet for an outdoor adventure.
