Picnic Rock Park is a popular spot near Kings Beach, California, known for its stunning views of Lake Tahoe and surrounding peaks. The 2.9-mile out-and-back trail is a moderately challenging hike that takes about 1.5 hour to complete. It's a great place for hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing, with plenty of shade along the way to keep you cool. Don't forget to bring your furry friend along, but make sure they're on a leash! And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of some wildlife while enjoying the beautiful scenery. NOTE: This hike is very popular on the weekends. So go early or during the week. Parking is along the side of HWY 267.
