The Christmas Valley Loop can be found off Luther Pass Road about 20 minutes south of South Lake. I parked in the Big Meadows parking area, which has plenty of parking and bathrooms. I started off climbing the Luther Stairs, which was very difficult yet still fun (kinda) Once you complete the Luther Stairs, you will be rewarded with an incredible view starting off The Big Meadow trail. Big Meadow has a bit of a long undulating climb, but nothing too crazy or technical (rated a blue) Once you complete that it's time for the real fun, The Christmas Valley Trail. Honestly, this might be the best trail I've ever ridden. Rock gardens galore, pure flow sections, short punchy tech climbs and some of the best views you can get in the Tahoe area. There are plenty of alt lines and little shortcuts you can add to make it easier or a tad spicier, you decide! If you're planning a trip to South Lake, add this to your list! It's an A+ trail and worth it from start to finish. Now get outside and your damn bike! 😎
