8/24/2023 Nice day for a little outdoor exploring.. Decided to stop here and check out the trails and hoping to see the chickadees.. Bag in hand.. and unfortunately, no birds in sight.. Lots of cars parked along the road.. Some cars coming down extremely fast. Air is crisp, and the beautiful scenery!.. Tomorrow, the son will pick his destination..

This is my 1st snow fall! I love that the place is wide enough. However kids are flying out from their sled and banging the cars parked in the street so we moved our car a little far from people. It was too windy and cold so we only played less than an hour.

Gorgeous day to snowshoe with girlfriends. There are so many trails that lead up to the overlook of Lake Tahoe. Great for all levels of experience.

Chickadees! They eat from your hand! What a beautiful short hike. A lot of people bring their dogs snowshoeing but don't pick up after them. So watch out for landmines. The incline is gradual, so it's not too bad for little legs. Taking a sled can help with little legs when they get tired ( not uphill of course).

Driven past this so many times as the St Rose trail with the parking lot on the opposite side of the road attracts the street attention. A 1.5 mile easy, almost flat loop trail that surrounds the boggy middle meadow. Very well maintained trail with a couple of toilets available to use in the large restroom building there. Didn't see any sinks so bring hand sanitizer. I appreciated the nature made stone love seat at the shaded half point mark of this relaxing loop trail.

we were able to use spikes the whole way up to Chickadee ridge....great views of the lake

Too cute Chickadee!

One of our favorite locations, any time of year. Went snowshoeing this time, not a lot of snow left, but enough to make your own tracks. It's a fairly short hike to Chickadee Ridge, moderate elevation gain (all down hill on the way back!) with multiple opportunities along the way to feed these little birds that have us humans well trained!. Make sure to bring bird seed and, if traveling with dogs, hopefully their well trained so as not to scare the chickadees away. Awesome views from the ridge down to Lake Tahoe and a definite addition to your Tahoe visit. Note: if you can, go during the week, a lot less crowded.

Hit this sledding spot for the first time on this beautiful first day of 2021. We arrived on scene a little after 11am, which was late because 500 cars were already parked each side of state route 431. As Chris G's luck would have it, a family man driving a mini van waved me down right in-front of the sledding slope as our family truckster was hunting a pristine parking spot. Seriously Yelpers, we had the best parking spot in Tahoe Meadows for sledding. We were popping Barqs root beer off the Rover tailgate we were so close. Fast slopes and good quality family sledding time! If you can get here early and not have to park a mile down State Route 431 I highly recommend this spot for sledding.

Came here during winter and there was enough snow this season to have some fun with the kids. The slope is steep and long enough for sledding. Also, plenty of parking on the street that's wide enough for fully opened doors without worrying the cars passing by.

I went snowshoeing for the first time on the Chickadee Ridge hike and it was the highlight of my entire weekend at Lake Tahoe! We read some reviews beforehand to bring sunflower seeds to feed them to the chickadees along the trail so we bought a bag (definitely more than enough) from a gas station near our airbnb to try it out. As we went along the trail, we heard their chirping so we all split up and quietly held out our hands with sunflower seeds and sure enough, they really did land on our hand to take the seeds!! I was super skeptical at first but it WORKS!!! At the end of the hike, the view was also super pretty so we stopped for pictures and played in the snow. This hike is 100% worth it!

We love hiking around Lake Tahoe and this area is one of our favorites! When the weather is nicer, there is an abundance of beautiful wild flowers that accentuate the already gorgeous surroundings with peek-a-boo views of gorgeous Lake Tahoe. But we had a magical winter wonderland hike here a couple days ago in December! Sadly, we forgot to bring along our snowshoes but, with the goal of finding Chickadee Ridge, we proceeded along the snow-covered meadows boardwalk based upon the descriptions found on online hike sites. We also encountered others that either snowshoed or cross-country skied on the same trails that gave friendly advice about how to find the seemingly evasive chickadees. There were lots of happy people and dogs in the same area that others warned may have scared off the cute birdies. We made our way up to the top of the ridge and were rewarded with an absolutely gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe! Even if we could not find the chickadees, we were more than satisfied with this reward! As we made our way back down toward where we parked, we saw a man sitting quietly with his little boy on a sled. He told us he did see a couple chickadees here and, as we quieted our voices, we could hear them calling in the trees! So my daughter and I silently made our way off the trail, hands outstretched holding pieces of walnuts. It did not take long until inquisitive chickadees whooshed down, landed on our hands, grabbed a nibble, and took off again! It truly was magical! We will head here again and won't forget our snowshoes! Even though the snow trails are packed down, every once in a while we would sink beneath the trail without them!

Came up to Chickadee Ridge from South Lake Tahoe for some snowshoeing and it did not disappoint. A quick drive up from Incline Village on Route 431 and using All Trails as our GPS map found the trail and sledding area very easily. Parking is along the road and we were lucky to get a spot when we arrived around 1 PM. From the road we snowshoed across the trees and found a nice groomed trail. The trail looped around was very easy to use (for a novice snowshoe walker). At times my wife and I went off the trail into the tree area with no difficulty. Got to the top of Chickadee Ridge for a wonderful view of Lake Tahoe. BTW, made sure you stop at the scenic overlook on the way up or back to Incline Village area. This was a terrific day trip and we so enjoyed our time walking Chichadee Ridge Trail.

Mt Rose was awesome, we had a blast and found the perfect spot for just the family. Very large area to walk around, we sledded, made a snowman the views were great too. Don't miss this place.

Great for hiking, snow shoeing, sledding, and dog training in all weather! Be careful when parking- cars don't slow down on Mt Rose Highway.

The chickadee ridge is a popular stop where people try to lure the chickadees to land on their outstretched hands.

This a great park. The playground is fun and has plenty of slides. There is a smaller playground…read morefor the little kids. There is a rock climbing wall. There is another rock structure to climb on. There are swings at this playground. There is turf underneath the playground. There is a bathroom. The grassy area is huge, and there is a nice, paved path around the park. There is a really nice and clean skate park. There is a splash pad. There is a basketball court. There is a covered eating area. There is a separate parking lot for this park. There is a grill for bbqing. The view of the mountains is beautiful. This park tends to get pretty windy, so don't forget a sweater. Have fun out there! -Dadzone

Las Brisas is a beautiful! Green and very quiet place for the family rest. Celebrated my…read moregrandmothers 90th Birthday yesterday afternoon at Las Brisas, so, events are on demand, as park in the good shape, Playground for kids is awesome and clean. We used to bring my kiddos to this park a when they were little. There's a good amount of shade, ample parking, There are restroom facilities with bright night lighting. A large stretch of grass and even a walking trail makes for some good stroller cruisin'! I'd say a highlight to this park is the awesome view and location. We paid $250 for the rental through the city of Reno. Just so you know, the power outlets DO NOT WORK. We used our vehicles for power outlets ;)
