Interpretive Significance: Best views of Lake Tahoe. Mt. Rose Scenic Byway mile 22.9. This is the most spectacular sweeping view of Lake Tahoe from the scenic Byway or any paved road at Lake Tahoe. There are a lot of opportunities here to discuss the lake, the color, the depth, the Crystal Range, and the Carson Range – you can see them both from here.
