We spent a week exploring Lake Tahoe. It is the largest alpine lake in North America and the second deepest in the United States. The lake is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Though we visited in June, we still saw snow (and snowfall!) on some of the trails.
View of Lake Tahoe from Heavenly Gondola. The elevation was in excess of 9000 ft.
The water is very clear and beautiful.
The Mt. Judah trail affords incredible views in every direction.
Wildfires ravage the forests in the area periodically.
Emerald Bay is a major attraction in the area.
Clear skies made for some amazing night skies.
