I am soooo lucky to live here. You all have to visit this place at some time in your life.
Just another Saturday hike.....

Bliss State Park on the west shore of Lake Tahoe

Note snow covered peaks in backround.
Yes, the water is turquoise and clear

About 100 feet down to the canoe and water

We go camping on the west shore quite often. It gets a little chilly but its so beautiful.

I went to Tahoe a few years ago, right around Christmas. Did some skiing (badly, in my case) and snowmobiling, and took the tour boat on the lake. Man, that's beautiful country. Thanks for the pics.

Can't understand the people who camp out at the slot machines there instead of getting outside.

I'm planning on being there in August. You gonna be around Jim. Maybe hook up for a beer?

I've never been there, but it's high on my list of places to see before I leave the planet. Something about mountains just makes me feel happy...

I've done some backpacking in Desolation Wilderness on the west side of Tahoe. The trailhead was near Emerald Bay. Nice alpine lakes up there.

As a former bay area resident, I miss Tahoe summers and winters.

I'll be gone for 1 week in August but I'll be here most of the time. PM me before you come.

We need more pics of the scenery...........And I don't mean the lake or the trees, etc.

I don't vacation here; I live here.

But you definitely can visit. Bring that greenburst Sadowsky M5! Should sound good into my SA full stack.
