MAP NOTE What's important for our general reference purpose is that each side of a square is 1000 meters, or a Kilometer. From my point of view that is 1093.6 yards or .62 of a mile. Diagonal: 1414.22 meters, if my trig is correct. That converts the diagonal distance into 4,639.8 feet or .88 of a mile.

Location |
Main Features Exiting the Tahoe Basin through the Carson Gap brings a series of related choices along with the changing terrain. Do we swing Southwest along the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail or Southeast along the Pacific Crest Trail? This is also a choice between granite or volcanic terrain, between no trail at all and well-worn trails, between plunging deep into the canyons along the Western flank or staying high on the barren Eastern flank of the Sierra Crest. These are the conditions you select when you select your route South from the Carson Gap. The Tahoe to Yosemite Trail brings the former options, the Pacific Crest Trail the latter. |
