Lake Tahoe
Whether you are content to enjoy the gorgeous views from the many roadside viewpoints, or if you prefer to get out on a trail and hike your way to those special places, you are going to love the scenic, natural beauty of Lake Tahoe. And if your preference is somewhere in between, enjoy one of the paved walking or cycling lakeside trails.

South Lake Tahoe is perhaps the busiest part of the lake with many choices of accommodations, dining and shopping, the Nevada side is also home to big name casinos. Or ride the Heavenly Gondola to outstanding views. Surprising to many visitors is the rich selection of cultural and historical activities, representing the Native American cultures who called the lake home, the pioneering settlers who willed their wagons across challenging terrain for a new life in the unknown west. Prospectors searched for gold and silver with varying levels of success, while new, wealthy San Franciscans soon made Lake Tahoe their playground.

You'll tour around the lake - in either direction, your choice - and you'll also divert away from the water a little to visit the historical town of Truckee and the the infamous Donner Pass as a part of your circuit. With such a broad history, you'll hear stories ranging from the mob activities, to ancient glaciers, legends from the Washoe people, to the Winter Olympics.
