Cave Rock is something of a landmark in Lake Tahoe. It's located on the east shore, a few miles north of South Lake Tahoe/Stateline. The rock is visible from the lake, as we discovered on a cruise.
This is a mighty big rock complex, formed through volcanic activity. It is a spiritual significant area for the Washoe people, who only allow tribal shamans to visit it.
You can climb the hill. Just be warned that the last five minutes of the 10-minute (one way) hike is quite steep. However, the views from the top are terrific.
What's more, you can drive through it. There are a couple of tunnels for traffic on U.S. Route 50, and the view is always impressive when you come out. It's a little tough to get close to it, but perhaps you can see it better if you click on the picture to blow it up.
