Watson’s Monument

Congratulations - You have reached Watson’s Monument at 8,774 ft. This is the highest point on the course and you should be feeling the elevation. Don’t forget to look back over your shoulder to take in the view of the sun rising over Lake Tahoe, before you drop into the lush green Granite Chief Wilderness.
