    Mount Rose Summit is a mountain pass located in the Carson Range near Mount Rose and Slide Mountain northeast of Incline Village. The 8,911 ft (2,716 m)-high pass is traversed by State Route 431, which is the highest point of the highway and the highest mountain pass open year-round in the Sierra Nevada.

    The saddle itself features a parking lot and a small building which both serve as a highway stop. A closed dirt road leading to the Mount Rose Ski Resort ends near the northern section of the summit.

    The largest alpine lake in North America, Lake Tahoe is a cobalt blue lake atop the Sierra Nevada mountain range. On its eastern shores, gently sloping beaches, crystal-clear water and interesting rock formations allow for wonderfully sublime swimming, kayaking and scuba diving at Sand Harbor.

    Boaters, water-skiers and fisherman can easily launch from one of the park two ramps. Visitors who would like a peaceful retreat from surf and sun can picnic in the shade of cedars and Jeffrey pines in one of many picnic sites equipped with barbecues and tables.

    The park also hosts the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival every summer. The parking lots are often full from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on summer weekends and weekdays during July and August. During this time, the Tahoe Transportation District provides the East Shore Express shuttle from Incline Village into the park. Free parking at 771 Southwood Blvd., Incline Village, NV 89451.
