Lake Tahoe has the clearest water I have ever seen, which is due to the alpine water running off the nearby mountains into the lake which stays very cold, thus stopping all bacteria from decaying and staining the water. This freshwater lake in the Sierra lies between California and Nevada, and is also the largest alpine lake in North America with a depth of 1,645 ft.
Lake Tahoe is a major tourist attraction for both Nevada and California. The California side has many winter sports, and numerous summer outdoor recreational activities, like large camping areas and miles and miles of hiking.
On the Nevada side you will find many large casinos, much like you would in Las Vegas.
Starting at the top of the tram there is a major resort and fantastic place t swim and enjoy the ski ares. The Squaw Valley Ski Resort based in the Olympic Valley is one of the largest ski areas in the United States, and was the host site of the entire 1960 Winter Olympics. Interestingly, this was the first time ever that computers were used to record and track the scores.
Vikingsholm, below, is one of the most beautiful homes on the lake, and it is a great example of Scandinavian architecture in the United States, that many people do not know about. The massive wealth of the family is the reason there are no other homes in the area.

Did you get a chance to check out emerald bay? That's a beautiful spot up there! Rock climbing out there is a lot of fun too!
It was our anniversary and we went on a diner cruise across Emerald Bay. I have more photos, so many, it takes time to find them all. We also climbed the rock,and I think the one i included is from the top there. Have you been camping there?
