Living in the Lake Tahoe area for the last eighteen years and never
exploring the Flume trail really disappoints me. Fortunately, today a friend
and I finally got the chance to explore this amazing trail. Okay let’s get down
to it. So we began out journey at the Spooner lake trailhead and continued
along the 4-mile trail to Marlette Lake; however, I am pretty sure the last
mile of the climb is a 20% grade. After sweating out maybe five pounds,
Marlette Lake finally presents itself. A short snack break took place to
celebrate the conquering of the horrible journey up to this point, and then we
were off. The last ten or so miles are fairly easy as they are mostly flat or
downhill single track. We ended our journey with some smoothies at the Tunnel Creek Cafe, which resides at the end of the trail in Incline Village.
