Winter Vacation: Lake Tahoe, California
Incredible, extraordinary, … try as you may, it’s pretty challenging to find words that do justice to the sheer beauty of this region. Nestled on the California-Nevada border, Lake Tahoe has been a favorite vacation spot for a long time, welcoming 15 million visitors annually.
Travelers are drawn to this place by the steep granite cliffs and towering mountaintops. And let’s not forget the crystal-clear waters that have earned Lake Tahoe the reputation for being one of the most stunning bodies of water in our country.
But while the lake alone is worth your trip, the surrounding area boasts miles of hiking trails, picture-perfect vistas, and some of the best skiing in the North. It also seems to have adopted the significant traits of its neighbors.
You’ll find San Francisco-style shopping and dining along the lake’s north shore, while you’ll also find opportunities to test your luck in the south shore’s Reno-Esque casinos.
You’ll also find plenty of activities, including hot air balloon adventures, gondola rides, and picturesque cruises on the mirror-like water.
