The end of our first night backpacking in desolation wilderness, breathtaking view of the sunset.#hiking #sunset
The shimmering, jewel hued waters of the aptly named Emerald Bay was a sight for sore eyes. By far the best view in Lake Tahoe! My only regret was not packing my swimsuit.. or a decent pair of walking shoes to hike down to Vikingsholm.

Hike the Eagle Lake trail! If hiking in winter, I recommend Goretex boots, water resistant pants, trekking poles, snacks and optimism. The views are incredible and completely worth "power sliding" through the snow ;) Snow shoes would have been a great addition too.

The amenities were great! We even had a fridge in the room which I wasn’t expecting but no microwave. Also the down side is they put a $200 hold when you check in which I wasn’t aware of ahead of time I knew about the parking fees and resort fee at the property but you get $100 back when you check ...

The proximity to the gondola is excellent, literally across the street. This is a lodge, not a hotel but most of the properties in Tahoe are lodges/inns. It is an old property and it is not like staying at the Marriot on the other side of the street. However, the people are great, the rooms are just ...
