The motor hums and the boat cuts a bright line across Lake Tahoe as you push away from Zephyr Cove, water spraying cold and clean against the hull. In less than half an hour the shoreline compresses into cliff faces and granite beaches; you step ashore, meet your guide and trade wake for dirt. The Rubicon Springs Trail opens into a raw, high-desert side of Tahoe—sweeping views of blue water below, Jeffrey pines knitting the ridgelines, and granite outcrops that dare you to climb a little higher for a photo.
