Capture California, the Game-2012
Adventure: 008, Hike 025 -
Rainbow Trail
Team: Thing One, Thing Two
Date: June 28, 2012
Location: Lake Tahoe
Description:
This is part of the Taylor Creek Informational/Visitor Center. And
it really does its job! This half mile walk takes 45 minutes-many
guides say it is a quarter mile, but they only go to the Stream
Profile Chamber. It leads us through meadows, woodlands, streams, all
along explaining in a easy flowing manner the relationship of the
plants with the various animals-birds, fish and mammals. While most
places say that the Stream Profile Chamber, where you can see life
under the surface, is the highlight of the trail, I am not so sure.
The full trail, not the trail which only leads to the Chamber, takes
you on a meandering walk through the wetlands around the Visitor
Center, then through the small broad-leaf trees surrounding the
wetlands. You also get a fabulous view of Mt Tallac rising above you.
It is a good walk to take while at the Visitor Center, well worth
the 45 minutes.
