OutdoorPix- Singletrack Sweetness: Andesite Ridge
Hole in the Ground trail is another classic Tahoe mountain bike ride. One of the early highlights is climbing to 8200′ along Andesite Ridge before descending into a granite playground. The top of the ridge is mostly rock and devoid of trees. This gives huge panoramic views spilling out along both sides of the ridge. … Read More ›
Tahoe Rim Trail- Echo Summit to Barker Pass
The Tahoe Rim Trail (aka TRT) is a 165-mile trail that circumnavigates the Lake Tahoe Basin. This is part two of our 8-part series showcasing each section of the 165-Mile Tahoe Rim Trail.

Tahoe Rim Trail- Big Meadow to Echo Summit

OcSNOWber Surprise!
Daisy Snow Dog and I made our second attempt on Ellis Ridge trail. This time armed with snowshoes and Daisy’s snow coat (that helps keep snowballs from packing up in her fur). We lucked out and showed up just as the weather was clearing. Fresh tracks once again. Despite a bunch of 4WD trucks driving… Read More ›
SNOW- First snow of the Fall
I remember the last snow sometime in June, 2011. It’s now October 5, and the snow is back. I’m happy to be here to experience it, and the dramatic weather that Tahoe serves up. Still, I’d like a few more weeks of mountain biking, paddling, and trail time. Daisy the Snow Dog and I make… Read More ›
Dirt- Western States-Mt. Watson-TRT
Try this on for extra sucky- 26.5 miles, about 3800′ of climbing, long climbs, views galore, and rippable wide open foresty to rocky descents. This ride has it all and is a Tahoe Sux classic adventure. This is one of our favorite rides out of Tahoe City. The 64 Acres parking area in Tahoe City… Read More ›
Water- Rubicon Bay SUP
Birthdays in Tahoe Suck For my birthday, I think I’d like a long SUP paddle, a white sand beach all to myself, and a nice trail run. For those that haven’t spent time on the lake on an SUP or kayak- make time. You’ll never experience Lake Tahoe as vividly as you can while under… Read More ›
Dirt- Santa always delivers in Xmas Valley
Christmas Valley is one of our yearly must do Fall rides. What this ride lacks in mileage (15-17 miles), it makes up for in sweeping views, fun foresty singletrack, oh yeah, and around 1900′ (5 miles) of descending. There is a side option to go to Dardanelles Lake, that adds about 2 miles (worth it,… Read More ›
Why we hate Tahoe
So why “Tahoe Sux?” Isn’t that a bit negative for a blog? Here’s a snapshot of a conversation we’ve been having for 6 years now. “Well this sucks, I’m missing General Hospital!” Me- “How’s the weather?” H- “Oh it sucks today. Glassy lake, blue skies, 70s” Me- “Wow that does suck?” or H- “What did… Read More ›
Welcome to Tahoe Sux- Dedicated to Outdoor Adventures in Tahoe

We’ve been in Tahoe for 6 years now, and trying to live the outdoor mountain lifestyle to the fullest. Our lives can pretty much be summed up as follows: … Read More ›
