Marlette Lake is gorgeous in the fall.
Since we hadn’t ridden the Flume Trail yet this year, Nancy—stoked to be in a state that is not known for its constant rainfall—suggested a quick out-and-back ride.
Climbing out of Marlette Lake.
Nancy claims that one day she will be able to ride the “cardiac hill” up to Marlette Lake without stopping, but today was not that day. However, the autumn trees were absolutely spectacular, with flurries of leaves cascading in the wind.
There are a few rock overhangs on the trail.
The Flume Trail is flat and smooth, which makes it unique in Tahoe. It’s an easy ride except for the four-mile climb up to Marlette.
A new obstacle on the trail.
There was always one rocky spot that you had to walk through, and now there are two. A flake broke loose sometime in the past year to create a new obstacle.
Looking down to Sand Harbor.
As usual, the Flume Trail was an awesome ride, and the weather was perfect. We weren’t alone; there were more people out riding today than we had ever seen.
