This trip follows US-50 over Echo Summit, then SR-89 along the West Shore and over Luther Pass into South Lake Tahoe. It is the scenic way around the lake from Reno: Echo Summit first, then the West Shore drive and the Luther Pass climb to finish. Check both legs on this page before you leave, since Echo Summit and Luther Pass can carry different chain requirements on the same day.
