Walk up
Located in the Mt. Rose Wilderness Area of the Toiyabe National Forest, this peak offers great views of the Lake Tahoe area, as well as Reno and the Carson Valley. Mt. Rose is the second highest peak in the Lake Tahoe area, with Mt. Freel in the South Shore area being the highest. The climb to the top is not very difficult, but does take a little time. The trail to the top is well worn and safe for travel. The trail winds through a wide valley full of small streams during the approach to the mountain. As the trail climbs the mountain, you pass through forested areas before rising above the treeline. Here, great views of the mountain range heading north are unavailable, as well as a sight of Truckee in the distance. At the top there is a summit log and a few wind shelters built of rocks. On a clear day, there is no better view of the area. This mountain is best climbed during the late spring to fall period. Winter climbs are also possible, but caution should be used. All around, this mountain is a great peak for a good weekend climb.
