The Monkey Rock Hike is around 2.6 miles round-trip. The hike to Monkey Rock is a relatively short but steep hike along the Flume Trail that offers some of the best views of Lake Tahoe. The trailhead is located behind the Tunnel Creek Cafe on Highway 28 in Incline Village. You’ll notice the views almost immediately and they get better as you continue up the trail.
You’ll want to make a left on Ponderosa Ranch Road from the parking area, which dead-ends very quickly. Instead, make a slight right to climb the hill on Tunnel Creek Road. The trail begins at the dead end on Tunnel Creek Road. You can also use AllTrails or Google Maps to route you to the trailhead.
