Tahoe Trip + Cave Rock

Went up to Tahoe for the 19th? annual Martin Luther King Jr. weekend with the Palomares Elementary crew this past weekend. It was a total blast as always. We stay in a nice little cabin about 5 minutes from stateline and spend our days and nights drinking and gambling and playing board games and cards and hiking and sledding and dicing and drinking. (I've just been informed I've set a new blog record for most ands in one sentence.) Anyway during a break in the snow storm on Sunday, Josh, Megan or Megosh as I like to call them, my brother Brian and myself took a drive and then a hike to the top of Cave Rock. It was a fearsome show of nature's strength. The wind felt like it would blow us off the top and was actually causing the snow to fall upwards around the rock it was blowing so hard. Here's the video with my Christmas present from my folks, a new Mino HD Flip Camera!

Is there an official hiking trail that gets you to the top of Cave Rock?

mrTomahawk,
I'm not sure if there is an official hiking trail but if you take 50 East from South Lake and turn right on Cave Rock Drive (right before you go through Cave Rock) there is a place to park around the second hairpin turn and a trail there. If you do a search on google maps for Cave Rock, Nevada you can see the trail on the satellite image. Happy trails!
