Do not litter or make unnecessarily loud noises when at the cliff. Making fire is allowed only with a permit! Read more
We like Phantom Spires
Greg Gibson
There is something pretty magical about large masses of granite that jut several hundred feet skyward on the steep slope of the mountain leading into desolation wilderness
Alex Biale
With a desolate and somewhat eery feel surrounding them, The Phantom Spires lie on a ridge southeast of Lover's Leap in Tahoe. After taking a road that isn't marked, follow an off-road trail for about 2 miles up to the parking lot. From here, hike up the obvious trail to the spires that lie spread out on the ridge of the mountain. There are three main spires: upper, middle, and lower. However, there are many other rock formations with lines to be climbed on them such as Shark's Tooth which is on the lower side of the ridge.
