Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is a lovely place to see. These are some older photographs of it from several years ago, so camera quality is marginal. Out on the lake, you can see Vikingsholm Castle and the tea room ruins at the top of the nearby island in Emerald Bay. On Independence Day, there are fireworks on the beach if you are willing to wait and stake out a spot early. And the views from the mountain to the south up the ski lift are incredible.
