Noonchester: Travel 0.7 miles up the McKinney- Rubicon Trail/Miller Lake Road and turn right where you see the sign "Single lane road not maintained for passenger car use." When you cross the bridge, you are on the Noonchester Mine Road. The trail ends in a large circular turnabout approximately 2.5 miles from the beginning. There are fantastic views of Lake Tahoe from Mt. Watson to Rubicon Peak. You can also look down upon Quail Lake and Homewood Ski Area. Do not take the trail past the turnabout. This private maintenance road leads into Homewood Ski Area.
