North Lake Tahoe Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Lake Tahoe from Heavenly Resort - skiing - Activity all over - panoramic
February 1st, and snow is sparse in Tahoe. We parked at the Brockway Summit Parking, but crossed the road and headed up the mountain on Spur Trail. It was warm and quiet. 

About a 2 mile hike up to the vista point, and the view was not disappointing! Gorgeous lake and the company of good friends.
Beautiful Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe, site of 1968 winter Olympic. This was taken a month ago but now the snow is all likely gone because of the driest January on record.
Spent the weekend in Truckee, but stopped in Tahoe City on the way home. 

Lake waters have receded quite significantly, but the lake is clear and beautiful.
Alpenglow at North Lake Tahoe.  Being a regular at Eastern Sierras, I often witness an optical phenomenon called Alpenglow. Lake Tahoe sits 6,000 feet above sea level.  That's when you see something beyond the regular reds and oranges of a sunset...#colorful Pink hues and Magenta becomes part of the palette painting the skies.

7.8/10 Good! (1,005 reviews)
Great location. Lower price/budget for area. Awful worn old mattresses, gnarly dirt filled pool, stairs closed as not safe.. Office only open limited hours. AI other hours. So much potential. Fix this place up and charge enough to have new mattresses.
