Enjoy a moderate ride along a ridgeline with scenic views of the Lake Tahoe Basin to the west and Carson Valley to the east. Several spurs off the main road access peaks, Genoa Peak being the highest (9,150'). An excellent 10 mile loop off the main ridge is possible.

From South Lake Tahoe, take Kingsbury Grade (Highway 207) and turn left on North Benjamin Road, which turns into Andria Drive. Continue to the end of the pavement and park. Take Genoa Peak Road (14N32). A longer trip is possible if you take two cars. Park the second vehicle off of Highway 50 behind the Nevada Department of Transportation Station (NDOT), 1/4 mile south of the Highway 28 and 50 junction.
