Hike + Scenic Lift Rides
Take a hike, or ride, to the top of Northstar and soak in some of the best views of summer as you breathe in the fresh mountain air and scents of white pine trees from 8,610 feet.
Scenic Chairlift Rides
Whether you’re looking for the perfect picnic spot with views of Lake Tahoe that have been known to distract visitors from their lunches, or just want to see the mountain from the top without “hoofing it,” scenic chairlift rides are a great way to experience Northstar all summer long. Don’t forget to stop and smell the red firs and white pines, as well as to read the signs about our area’s animals and wildlife.
Hiking and Summer Scenic Lift Rides are free with a 22/23 Epic Pass!

This summer, get outdoors for a day of adventure amidst the natural beauty of Northstar. All you need are two legs (or four for our furry, leashed friends), water, lunch, appropriate footwear, sunscreen, and – of course – a camera to capture unimaginable views of the surrounding Sierras.
Explore the many trails rated for various ability levels, and get a nice workout along the way without even realizing it thanks to the stunning mountain scenery. Nature hikes at Northstar can be as advanced or as leisurely as you make them!
