Zoom-a-Flume.... Trail...

Errr... Otherwise know as the Flume Trail. 

I got to bike a good chunk of it before I realized what time it was and turned around.  For the $8 "Locals" rate to park- and the 4 miles (uphill and partially sandy 2 track) ride to Marlette Lake, wading through the water from the dam, and then being on the Flume Trail - it was worth it.  I actually got pebbles in my shorts and had to get them out on the ride back.  I know you all wanted to know that.

There's a rope swing on the far right, trust me. 

Oh the Views.  And when you get to Marlette Lake at mile 4.9 (ish) there's a rope swing, which you can't even see in the photo, but it's there.

             Gaze follows the view, but luckily I managed to not go over the edge.

Now to get Barrett, Jill, Laura, Tyler, Steven and whoever else wants to bike it up here!

 There is a big loop you can do out of it too that would be 24 miles including part of the Tahoe Rim Trail on the other side.   One can get a shuttle at mile 10 back to Spooner Lake, or you can turn around and go back.  I'd say I got about 7-8 miles in before I had to turn around.  But the view was WELL worth it!

Happy
