Author Jordan Summers guides you along 40 scenic hikes, from Emerald Bay to the five highest peaks around Lake Tahoe.

Jordan Summers has had more fun sleeping on rock, snow, and dirt than any one person should be allowed. From his home near Sacramento, Jordan spends most weekends ranging along the Sierra north and south of Lake Tahoe.
