Shirley Canyon Hike (Summer-Fall):

• Trailhead: Park at Palisades Tahoe parking lot. Walk down Shirley Canyon Road and find the trailhead on the left as the road curves to the right. The trailhead is on back of the Shirley Canyon Road loop, approx. 1/4 mile from Tram Building.
• Easy Hike: 10-15 minutes to seasonal waterfalls from the trailhead. (Rocks and some climbing)
• Moderate Hike: 3 miles to Shirley Lake with a 1,000-foot elevation gain, ideal for picnics.
• Advanced Hike: 5 miles to High Camp with a 2,000-foot elevation gain. From here you can either turn around and come back down or keep climbing to High Camp, where you (and your dog) can ride the Tram down for free when operational. Check Palisades Tahoe for Tram information as it may be on wind or lightening hold or closed for maintenance. The Tram closes at 5pm.
