Plenty of hiking trails; some to waterfalls and others to great views of Lake Tahoe. Eagle Lake trail is one of our favorites.

TOP RATED - Highly recommend this lovely boutique hotel, just opened in August 2022. The staff and management are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Great location within walking distance to beautiful Lake Tahoe and to all the main tourist attractions including restaurants, shops, entertainment, etc. in the Heavenly Tahoe area. A wonderful restaurant Maggies is conveniently located in the hotel with a wonderful menu, the octopus appetizer is delicious. They also have a full service bar with a big screen TV. Looking forward to our next visit.

Pretty desolate for a national forest, really. Mostly just rocks, some plants, and pristine placid lakes. If you're into that sort of thing. I heard a hiker got thrown off a cliff for stacking rocks away from the trail.
