As you navigate the Mount Rose Scenic Byway (SR 431), snow-dusted mountains loom above pine forests and jewel-toned Lake Tahoe, setting up a spectacular picture-perfect scene. The paved drive begins at the Tahoe Basin, twists and gradually climbs past rocky slopes, then descends into Reno. Snow tires/chains may be necessary during winter.
