Andesite Peak Loop via Castle Valley North Road and Hole in the Ground

The Andesite Peak Loop in the Tahoe National Forest, is a diverse and rewarding hike. Along the way, you'll traverse through lush meadows, ascend rocky ridgelines, and enjoy sweeping views of surrounding peaks like Castle Peak, with its volcanic features from ancient eruptions. The route provides an interesting blend of forested areas and open, panoramic vistas, with some sections offering a view of the Sierra Nevada’s rugged terrain, and in the distance, the unmistakable ridgelines of the Tahoe Basin. #Hike #Mountain #Forest #Nature #Loop #Overlook
