Verdi Peak

West of Verdi and only a short distance from I-80, Verdi Peak Road offers an easygoing escape into the forests and open ridgelines of the Tahoe National Forest. The route winds through stands of pine and fir with occasional views toward Stampede and Boca reservoirs, while connecting with numerous side roads and plenty of camping opportunities. Whether you are looking for developed sites near the water or quiet dispersed campsites deeper in the woods, this road offers plenty of ways to turn a simple drive into an overnight adventure. With a relaxed pace and classic mountain scenery, Verdi Peak Road is a great way to trade the highway for a quieter corner of the Sierra Nevada.
