Tucked just off Highway 50 near Zephyr Cove, this scenic overlook offers a short paved path to panoramic vistas that feel like a postcard come to life. Also BONUS there is a bathroom! We visited mid-morning and found the lighting perfect for photos crisp reflections on the lake, snow-dusted peaks in the distance, and a peaceful hush that made it feel like our own private lookout. The boulder outcroppings are fun to explore, and there are a few informal trails that lead down toward the water if you're feeling adventurous (though they're a bit steep, so best for sure-footed hikers). Parking is limited to a small turnout on the southbound side, so plan accordingly. Restrooms are available in summer, which is a thoughtful touch for families. We packed a light picnic and found a quiet spot to sit and soak it all in--no crowds, no noise, just nature at its finest. Whether you're chasing the perfect photo, a quiet moment, or a scenic pause in your Tahoe loop, Logan Shoals delivers. It's one of those places that feels like a secret until you see the view and realize it's too good not to share.

Is this the listing to review the lake? I'm unsure because Lake Tahoe *has* to have more than 100…read morereviews. It has to. If I am reviewing the wrong listing please feel free to move. And if Lake Tahoe (the lake) has less than 100 reviews, what are we even doing? This needs to be fixed! One of my childhood friends invited a group of us to his lake house up in North Lake Tahoe in the middle of fall.* Not being from the area, I didn't know what this meant. Once I arrived, I realized that I missed my calling to be a Real Housewife. *This* is what life should be about. I don't think this is high season for visitors. I don't recall seeing that many people. As a result, the lake felt much more local than touristy and I enjoyed every second of it. If there's any wonder as to whether we live in a simulation, Lake Tahoe might be proof that we do. It's impossibly beautiful. It's impossibly blue. The still waters run deep (like, scary deep; don't go on these waters without a life vest). AFAIK motor boats are forbidden on the lake so you'll need to experience it via kayak, paddleboard or by some other means of muscle power. But however you do it, you need to do it. I don't think I've been that relaxed or in awe of nature in a very long time. The grandeur of the lake is something you can only really experience in person. I used to live in Chicago. I'm very acquainted with Lake Michigan. I've been to Minnesota. I've been all over those lakes. Nothing is like Lake Tahoe. From every vantage point, it's a postcard. Note, postcard and not Insta-post. Unplug here. If ever you want to be one with nature and be present in its fullness, it's here. Put your phone away. Get on to the water. Look all around in any direction. You'll be stunned into silence by how small you are and how gorgeously perfect this bastion of Mother Nature is. If you haven't been, you have to change that. You have to. Protect it. Respect it. Be grateful for it. *I've learned that there's a North/South divide.

This is a popular family and dog friendly hike that although can be year-round, I would not recommended during the summer months due to extreme heat and potential to run into rattlesnakes. Try to hike in dry conditions, as mud accumulates after a storm, making the trail slippery and if you do decided to venture in the warmer months go early to beat the heat. Views above the C and below the Flag are spectacular and breathtaking to be able to see Mt. Rose to the North with panoramic views of Carson City and Minden to the South. Be sure to bring a pair of binoculars to be able to spot a bird, some deer or check on your house while you are eating your lunch on the bench atop the mountain. The trek may seem rather simple with it being round trip approximately 2 miles but elevation quickly gaining at 882 feet straight up the mountainside, so take your time and enjoy the scenery. Be sure to bring H20 and maybe a snack or lunch for when you reach the top. There are a multiple ways to get to C-Hill but I will share a few and of course you may find a few others: Route #1 - We Use This One C-Hill McKay Drive Trailhead off of Terrace Street. Take Carson Street to W 5th Street until it dead ends onto Terrace Street (make a left) to McKay Drive. Once on McKay Drive immediately turn Right. This paved road quickly dead ends at a dirt road. There is space for a few cars. Route #2 - East Face The shortest (and probably steepest) is from S. Ormsby Blvd, right across the street from Carson Middle School. Carson Middle School is pretty easy to find. Take Carson Street to King Street to Carson Middle School. Once on King Street, pass the Middle School on the right, and immediately turn on S. Ormsby Blvd. This paved road quickly dead ends at a dirt road. There is space for a few cars. Enjoy as we have over the years whether it be on President's Day to salute the flag, to get a birds eye view of our beautifully growing Carson City, maybe to spy a herd of deer or just enjoy the picturesque Mt. Rose in the distance. #moveyourbody #goodvibes #beautifulday

We parked at the end of South Ormsby Boulevard across from the track at Carson Middle School. Our climb followed the steep rocky east face, until we reached Old Glory, about 200 feet from the top. The 8,000 square-foot American flag is made of bright red, white, and blue sheet metal, riveted to a sturdy steel frame. It is set just above the white-washed Carson City "C", overlooking the capital city of the silver state. We descended C Hill on its west side, which was longer, but not as steep, as our ascent. Altogether, we hiked up about 1,000 feet and covered about 4 miles. This Memorial Day, our visit to the American flag on C Hill left us feeling proud of our accomplishment and patriotic for our country.

The Dangberg Ranch is located on HWY 88 just south of its intersection with HWY 395, and you'll head west onto a dirt road for about a mile to get to the ranch, and the road is a bit rough, and on the day we went, muddy from recent rain.

We truly enjoy our jaunts that can be short or long depending on the time we have or path we chose on that day. The Linear Park Trail starts from Roop Street by Governors Field curving through our local neighborhood, a drainage area that then crosses over Saliman Road with a beautiful bridge that leads you by Fremont Elementary School. Be sure to check out the various signage that talks about the California Trail and the Carson River Route and various wildlife. As this paved path winds through the Lompa Ranch, some days you will see a herd of cattle, a few bulls and the possibility of a few baby calves playfully frolicking or grazing in the fields. Keep your eyes out for a hawk or two perched in the trees lining the fields or a coyote passing through in the early morning. Heck grab a seat on one of the few benches along the trail in the Lompa Ranch area so you can sit to enjoy the wildlife, cattle and scenery of the ranch. Progressing down the path you will come alongside the Highway (I-580) you will then go under it and Fifth Street reaching Airport Road to crossover then running back alongside Fifth Street and the Reclamation Center. The trail then crosses Fairview Drive and if you wish to extend your walk or jog you are now on the Mexican Ditch Trail that will keep on going to the Carson River or Silver Saddle Ranch. Trash cans are at the end and/or beginning of Linear Park Trail with Mutt Mitts to clean up after your dogs. The trail is enjoyed by all types of outdoor enthusiast from pedestrians, runners to bicyclists and of course animal lovers and families of all ages. Carson City maintains the trail with the help of various volunteers and donations. Our furry kids LOVE having this trail close by neighborhood to get us outside enjoying a little bit of nature tucked inside our community. We along with our furry kids make sure to ALWAYS be courtesy to others on the path, clean up after ourselves while using the trash receptacles and most importantly ENJOY ourselves. Get out and move, TODAY!
