Overview

Hard-core side trip to small lake near top of Ellis Peak.

Add this trail to the Rubicon or drive as stand-alone. Alternate route to top of Ellis Peak is both challenging and beautiful. Quickly reached from west shore of Lake Tahoe. Difficult access to Buck Lake means good campsites are often available. Trail is open to green-sticker vehicles with large staging area just east of Waypoint 02. Thanks to the North Tahoe Trail Dusters for adopting this trail.
