The worst plane crash in Tahoe history:
On March 1, 1964, three miles east of Kingsbury Grade, a plane carrying 85 people from the Bay area to South Lake Tahoe crashed in a snowstorm, killing everyone on board.
The plane took off from San Jose and headed to South Lake Tahoe. Less than an hour later, the four-engine propeller plane lay scattered across 8,695-foot Genoa Peak. Having gone down during a snowstorm, the wreckage wasn't located until 7:30 a.m. the following day, March 2, by a U.S. Air Force search-and-rescue helicopter.
This trail leads up to the crash site and the memorial created by the family's of the crash victims.
