• High Camp Loop (approximately 1.23 miles): This gentle trail begins at High Camp, traverses the ridge to the top of the Mountain Meadow Chairlift. Hikers then loop down through the upper mountain’s spacious open bowls to High Camp. During the winter this area serves as Palisades Tahoe’s beginner ski and snowboard slopes.
• High Camp to the top of the Gold Coast Chairlift (approximately .92 mile): Follow the High Camp Loop trail past the Mountain Meadow chairlift and continue until you reach the Gold Coast lift. This trail offers views of Lake Tahoe, the surrounding mountains and the meadows below.
• High Camp to the top of the Emigrant Chairlift (approximately 1.38 miles, 680’ elevation gain): This trail offers a stunning 360 degree view of Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains from the top. The historic Watson Monument is located near the top of the chairlift.
•  
• Shirley Canyon Trail (approximately 3.6 miles, 2,109' elevation gain/loss): This is one of Lake Tahoe's best half day hikes. Hike alongside waterfalls (seasonal; early summer only) and granite boulders and take in breathtaking views of Olympic Valley. To access the trailhead, park in the main Palisades Tahoe parking lot and walk to the end of Shirley Canyon Road. This trail can be difficult to follow, so remember the general rule is to keep the creek on your right and follow it up for about 2.5 miles until you come to giant granite rock slabs. You will cross over this section and continue up to Shirley Lake. There are steep and rocky sections, so hiking boots are strongly recommended.
• Thunder Mountain Trail (approximately 3.2 miles, 2000' elevation gain/loss): The Thunder Mountain Trail is the perfect hike to explore Olympic Valley from the base to High Camp. Hikers start their adventure to the north of Cushing Pond (to the far right of the Wa She Shu Chairlift). The trail is marked with three upright logs tied together and there is a map at the trailhead. From here you will walk towards the very wide bridge, which is where the route begins. The trail is clearly indicated by blue markings. Continue on the trail winding up the mountain. Your final destination will be the High Camp complex, where, during operating hours, you can visit our restaurant, marketplace, enjoy summer activities or ride the Aerial Tram back to the base of the mountain. PLEASE NOTE that the Thunder Mountain Trail passes over the summer construction access road. Please be aware of vehicle and heavy machinery traffic. Do not continue on the summer construction access road as it is closed for hiking.
• World Cup Trail (approximately .75 miles, 600' elevation gain): Use this trail to access the national historic and scenic designated Western States Trail, which stretches from Salt Lake City, Utah to Sacramento, California.
